| Summary: | This thesis document was issued under the authority of another institution, not NPS. At the time it was written, a copy was added to the NPS Library collection for reasons not now known. It has been included in the digital archive for its historical value to NPS. Not believed to be a CIVINS (Civilian Institutions) title. === The use of altimeters in conjunction with aerial photographs offers board possibilities in the mapping of large tracts of land by small parties at a minimum of cost. Since relatively little work has been done on this topic, our party accepted for its thesis subject a two-fold plan intended to test the suitability of this method of elevation determination both under laboratory and under field conditions. |
