I realise that some of photograPhy available in addition to that shown. and it is really Joss's criticism could be met by having the M56 ciass a separate extraordinary that a lot of the photograPhy taken by the Air Corps course but I feel that ovon in the National Championships a course and by private companies has never been indexed. pianned for 6 or 7 competitors is a luxury. I have spoken to The photogTammetrist has a dual funotionl the first of these is DIana and found that she was, in fact, quite satisfied with the to translate the three dimensional model whioh he sees into a length of the course. planimetrically accurate map.
