Aircraft in Relation to Petroleum Technology: Use for Survey and Transport*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Extract

The lecturer has been concerned with commercial air survey operations since their inception after the war, more on the organisation, finance and business side, rather than on the technical. It is therefore from the angle seen from the directing side that this paper is submitted. As certain technical aspects will be of interest to the Institution, they are referred to, in order that attention may be drawn to them. Through the courtesy of the firms responsible for manufacture, certain apparatus is exhibited which includes an air camera, the automatic pilot, and the contouring stereoscope. Certain technical experts have kindly promised to be available to answer questions or to demonstrate apparatus, and certain individuals and firms have been good enough to lend photographs and slides. Acknowledgment for such assistance will be made in the reply to the discussion.
