REMARKS : The measurements tabulated below are keyed to enclosures 1 and 2.
Enclosure 1 is a sketch of the plant layout identifying the five
buildings, and enclosure 2 is a sketch indicating the location of the measure-
ments.
Horizontal building dimensions and location of camera stations
were ascertained from the map and aerial photography. Photo scale and angle
of view were then determined and further photogrammetric techniques employed
to obtain the heights.
Where possible photos taken from different lgcations were
used to verify the heights. In addition, several photos included a Badger
aircraft. This permitted an, alternate method of determining the height
of several buildings, utilizing the known dimensions of the aircraft.
The range of measurements obtained are indicated, together
with the analyst's judgment of the probable height.
