All of these Charts / Maps were used for the RSL Museum display " The Mapmakers " ( of RASvy. ) 10 Jun - 10 Aug 2025. .1 Catalogue of Tactical Pilotage Charts, 1:500 000 Scale. Digital Data Base available as at 30Jun 92. This catalogue page shows the extent of the Australian area of responsibility for aeronautical charting. .2 RAAF PLOTTING CHART. NP 22-2 (Navigational Plotting) Tasmania. MERCATOR PROJECTION. This series of charts were used for the training of RAAF Navigators. These charts were produced and printed at the Army Survey Regiment, Bendigo. .3 RAAF PLOTTING CHART AUSTRALIA - SOUTHEAST. NP 27 is Based on LAMBERT CONFORMAL CONIC PROJECTION. This series of charts was used by RAAF Navigators for the planning of RAAF flights. These charts were produced and printed at the Army Survey Regiment, Bendigo. .4 RAAF LONG RANGE PLOTTING CHART. NP 43-4 AUSTRALIA WESTERN. MERCATOR PROJECTION. This series of maps were used for the planning of RAAF flights. Of Particular note these charts were used to plot "Rhumb Lines or loxodromes" where a course crosses all Meridians (Lines of latitude and longitude) at the same angle. On Mercator projection charts Rhumb lines are conveniently shown as straight lines and are also lines of constant compass bearing. Rhumb lines are usually longer than the shortest distance between two points. The shortest distance between two points on the earth's surface is called a "Great Circle Route" which is a route on a circular path on the surface of the earth where the centre of that circle is also the centre of the earth. Great Circle Routes on a Mercator Projection are however curves and harder to plot. These charts were produced and printed at the Army Survey Regiment, Bendigo. .5 RAAF LONG RANGE PLOTTING CHART. NP 43-7 SOLOMON ISLANDS. MERCATOR PROJECTION. Used for the planning of RAAF flights. .6 RAAF AIR STAFF PLANNING CHART NS 137-1 DARWIN NORTH WEST. AZIMUTHAL EQUIDISTANT PROJECTION. This series of charts were used for planning by the staff. The whole chart was produced by joining the four quadrant maps together. The charts are based on a single point of tangency (in this case Darwin) and shows radius (distance) in nautical miles to and from that point. A series of charts were produced centred on each of the major airfields in Northern Australia. These charts were produced and printed at the Army Survey Regiment, Bendigo. .7 RAAF AIR STAFF PLANNING CHART NS 137-2 DARWIN NORTH EAST. AZIMUTHAL EQUIDISTANT PROJECTION. Used for the planning by the staff. The charts are based on a point of tangency and show radius in nautical miles. .8 RAAF AIR STAFF PLANNING CHART NS 137-4 DARWIN SOUTH WEST. AZIMUTHAL EQUIDISTANT PROJECTION. Used for the planning by the staff. The charts are based on a point of tangency and show radius in nautical miles. .9 RAAF AIR STAFF PLANNING CHART NS 137-3 DARWIN SOUTH EAST. AZIMUTHAL EQUIDISTANT PROJECTION. Used for the planning by the staff. The charts are based on a point of tangency and show radius in nautical miles. .10 TACTICAL PILOTAGE CHART. TPC R-13B. LAMBERT CONFORMAL PROJECTION. Used by pilots for flight planning and could be used in flight if necessary for visual navigation using major ground features shown on the chart. These charts also contained aeronautical information such as airfields, radio navigation beacons and obstructions. Contours and height information was shown in feet to be compatible with aircraft altimeters. Each graticule square also contained a Maximum Safe Elevation Figure (MEF) also in feet. Coverage of this series over Australia's area of interest were produced and printed at the Army Survey Regiment, Bendigo. .11 HYDROGRAPHIC CHART. AUS 158. PORT PHILLIP SOUTH and WEST CHANNELS. PROJECTION TRANSVERSE MERCATOR. Used by all people needing to navigate a vessel. Hydrographic charts were printed at the Army Survey Regiment, Bendigo. .12 HYDROGRAPHIC CHART. AUS 157. GEELONG HARBOUR and APPROACHES. PROJECTION TRANSVERSE MERCATOR. Used by all people needing to navigate a vessel. .13 EN ROUTE CHART. AUSTRALIA ERC HIGH. H1 and H2. LAMBERT CONFORMAL CONIC PROJECTION. This series of charts were regularly produced by the RAAF Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) and contained current aeronautical information for pilots. These charts were printed at the Army Survey Regiment, Bendigo..1 Tactical Pilotage Chart Series Catalogue.

The object of these letters, which it is to be proposed quarterly, is to enable members of the Australian Survey Corps to stimulate interest in the progress of the work as a whole. It is also intended as a means to invite helpful criticism and suggestions for improvements in methods in any branch of the work. All members of the Corps are invited to contribute. Their suggestion should be forwarded to the O.C. section for transmission to O, C. Survey Corps and, if considered of sufficient merit, will be included in the next letter. It may often happen that a method, that may appear obvious and of little consequence to a member or Section using it, may not be followed by the others. In any case a discussion of detail in methods should be helpful to all.54 x A4 Photocopied pages of typed text. 9137.1 Liaison Letter No 1. 21 July 1937. 9137.2 Liaison Letter No 2 Letter missing. 9137.3 Liaison Letter No 3.
