Robert C. Miller, Engineers and directors of IAGS, “will provide the foundation upon which maps of Latin America can 2e built.” The fact that Key West is fre- quently referred to as “The nor- | thernmost city in Cuba,” has othing to do with this technically. It so happens that Key West is one of the points from which the urvey must be done. The method is called “triangulation” and in- volves establishment of certain | engineers operate. Besides a wel- | ter of complicated instruments, the | project uses a plane from which ‘ illuminating signal bombs are drop- jped. The engineers observe the flare and calculate with survey- jing instruments and all the skill ‘of their profession. As Major Ro- | manek said in discouraging visi- jtors to one of the points of ob- |servation in this area, “The man | on the job has to concentrate with- j out interruption. He needs ten hands and six minds for the com- | plex business.” He also said that ‘the weather angle was difficult \since. the survey must be made lon perfectly clear nights. | Other engineers on the staff with | Major Romanek who is in charge | ‘here, Maj.

There is one more phase of the | eartography which is a different type of engineering feat.
