Great Areas Can

Airplane Camera

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Photographic
maps taken by a new camera used in
airplanes make possible the surveying
in a few hours of vast areas hitherto
inaccessible, according to J. NJ. Mer-
Ger, editor for the Western Society Of
Engineers.
This camera, Mr.. Mercer asserted,
was developed by Maj. James w. Bag
ley because experiments made imnne-
diately after the World War showed
Inaccuracies in the method of aerial
surveying then used. The camera has
three lenses and a photogra PHO
transformer by means OF which photo
graphic maps can be made which will
Sc exceedingly accurate" stated Mr..
Mercer.
Recently an aerial survey waS
made Of the city of New York" Mr..
Mercer continued, for use in connec-
ton with the location OF certain i'm
portant railroad and tunnel proper
ties. The same maps were used by
the coming commission, and for such
work they are invaluable.
During the war. our air forces were
an indispensable means of obtaining
maps showing the most complete de-
tail of enemy operations. The lessons
learned in wartime are being put to
good use"
