Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. 5th course for
Photogrammetry
262
Het nadelig saldo van het examen 1946 is hoofdzakelijk ontstaan door de
hogere arbeidslonen der arbeiders, die per candidaat ongeveer 30. bedragen.
In verband hiermede is het examengeld thans verhoogd tot 35.—.
De financiële positie der Federatie is gunstig. Hoewel met de overname van
het Tijdschrift en tengevolge van moeilijkheden met de oude drukker van het
Tijdschrift onberekenbare factoren zijn ontstaan, kunnen ook de vooruitzichten
voor 1947 gunstig worden genoemd. De Penningmeester der N.L.K,

After an interruption of eleven years, the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology again intends to give a course for photogrammetry next
spring. This course, directed by the undersigned, will last from the
ist till 27th of March, respectively till end of April 1948.
As in former years, the Institute for Photogrammetry of the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology will put all its instruments and appara
tuses at the disposal of the participators, such as a Wild Autograph
A 5, a Wild Stereo-Plotting-Machine A 6, an apparatus for rectifica
tion Wild E 1, three field-equipments for terrestrial photographs,
a Wild Autograph A 2, a Stereocomparator a.o. Aerial cameras and
serial cameras will be supplied for demonstrating purposes by the
Henri Wild Surveying Instruments Supply Co. Limited.
The lectures will be given in French, and as far as necessary also
in English or German, and they will be based on the Manual of Photo
grammetry by Prof. Dr. Zeiler which appeared in April 1947 an"
was edited by Orell-Füssli of Zurich. The lectures will be given by
Prof. Dr Zeiler personally and by his scientific collaborator, Dr. sc.
techn. A. Brandenberger. The assistants for photogrammetry and
geodesy will help in the demonstrations and practical exercises.
Moreover, some lectures by Prof. Dr. h. c. F. Baeschlin on topical
questions of aerial photogrammetry as well as several reports by
practical men about their experience in photogrammetrical survey
methods are intended.
In the first part of the course (from ist to 27th of March 1948)
which is conclusive, and apart from the lectures and reports, demon
strations and practical exercises in the application of the instru
ment are carried out, whereby special attention is paid to aerial
photogrammetry. At the same time, there will be an excursion to Dii-
bendorf to inspect the organization of the aerial service of the Federal
Survey Department, and of their aeroplane for surveying, and besides
a visit to the works of the Henri Wild Surveying Instruments Supply
Co. Limited at Heerbrugg.—The first part of this course will con
stitute a thorough introduction into the photogrammetrical methods
and their application.
The second part (from 28th March to 30th April 1948) will serve
the practical training at the instruments, combined with all necessary
extra work, the designing of plans for surveying flights, a.o. Besides,
there will be lectures on the theory of errors in photogrammetry and
the latest results of the respective research in aerial photogrammetry
