Historical information

This is a set of 15 photographs of technicians undertaking map production tasks in at the Army Headquarters Survey Regiment, Fortuna, Bendigo in Oct 1961 and circa 1963. The stereoscopes shown in photos .1P to .4P were used to stereoscopically view and interpret features in overlapping aerial photographs. It appears these photos were taken in the Music Room on the 1st floor of Fortuna Villa. Cartographic production shown in photos .5P to .15P was undertaken on the top floor of Fortuna Villa. Technicians in photos .5P to .9P are amending map separations using print trimmers. The scribing process as shown in photos .10P to .15P was the cartographic process of drafting features such as drainage, relief, vegetation, roads and culture on specially coated map reproduction material. The cartographic technician scribed out the map feature such as a contour to a specified line width on the map sheet, using a tool affixed with a sapphire tipped cutter. The Production Data Folder (PD Folder) shown in photos .5P to .7P contained several documents such as the task authority, task instructions, task history logs and lithographic printing records. Photo 9189.14P has been previously published with Item 6252.8P.
