This analysis covers the investigation and development of Combination Map Compilation - ColorSeparation Methods as substitute time-saving procedures for conventional or standard map compilation and color-separation methods performed in separate phases. The original purposes of the investigation were, first, to find ways of eliminating the duplication inherent in the standard methods and, second, to adapt scribing techniques to compilation procedures. It developed, however, that these purposes could be accomplished simultaneously by the application of several unique techniques or methods which became apparent during the investigation and which are herein described. Combination Map Compilation - Color-Separation Methods not only are practical and time saving, but are eminently suited to quantity cartographic production. Training in these methods actually inspires more individual initiative on the job which, consequently, tends toward greater production. (Author).
Well over 600 total pages ... This subcourse consists of three lessons on basic mathematic skills required by the Cartographer. These lessons will enable you to perform basic map mathematics, to work in the metric system, to convert to and from the English system, and to use measuring scales. The skills and knowledges learned in this subcourse will enable you to easily master the tasks presented in later cartography subcourses. This is a selfpaced subcourse. This subcourse contains six lessons; each lesson explains, progressively, the step-by-step procedures for constructing a compilation base. These lessons will enable you to construct the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid at different scales, plot the Transverse Mercator Projection on the UTM grid and plot geodetic control. As a cartographer, you are primarily concerned with the portrayal of cartographic information on topographic maps and map substitutes. This information can be classified in broad categorical groups, such as hydrography, hypsography, lines of communication, urban analysis, miscellaneous cultural features, and vegetation. The best way to thoroughly teach you photographic interpretation would be to show you a photograph of every known type of imagery you would ever find on a photograph. This is impossible to do because the earth is constantly being changed by man and nature. It would also be impractical to assemble a volume of selected photographs dealing with photomapping. The Color Separation subcourse, part of the Cartographic Specialist MOS 81C Basic Cartography Course, is designed to teach the skills necessary to color separate maps. There are five lessons pertaining to the color separation process in multicolor printing. Each lesson corresponds to a terminal objective. The Cartography IX (Map Overlays) subcourse, part of the Cartographic Specialist MOS 81C Basic Cartography Course, is designed to teach the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare map overlays. Techniques, materials, equipment, and uses of map overlays will be discussed. This subcourse is presented in four lessons corresponding to a terminal objective.
