S. Geological Survey to determine the extent, grade, and mode of occurrence of radioactive substances.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>The region contains a relatively large number of rock types, chiefly pre-Cambrian schists, gneisses, and granites; large and small isolated areas of sedimentary rocks of Paleozoic and Mesozoic ages; and a great succession of intrusive rocks of Tertiary age that range from andesite to granite and occur as stocks, chonoliths, sills, dikes, and one batholith. The prevailing structures are northwest-trending folds and faults. Ores valued at about $30,000,000 have been produced from this region. Silver, lead, zinc, and gold have accounted for most of this value, but small tonnages of copper, tungsten, and molybdenum have also been produced. The principal ore minerals are sphalerite, silver-bearing galena, cerussite, smithsonite, and gold-bearing pyrite and limonite; they occur chiefly as replacement bodies in limestone and as shoots in pyritic quartz veins.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>Anomalous radioactivity is uncommon and the four localities at which it is known are widely separated in space. The uranium content of samples from these localities is low. Brannerite, the only uranium-bearing mineral positively identified in the region, occurs sparingly in a few pegmatites and in one quartz-beryl-pyrite vein. Elsewhere radioactivity is associated with (l) black shale seams in the Manitou dolomite, (2) a quartz-pyrite-molybdenite vein, (3) a narrow border zone of oxidized material surrounding a small lead zinc ore body in the Manitou dolomite along a strong fault zone.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/tei255","collaboration":"Report concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission","usgsCitation":"Dings, M., and Schafer, M., 1953, Radiometric reconnaissance in the Garfield and Taylor park quadrangles, Chaffee and Gunnison counties, Colorado: U.S. Geological Survey Trace Elements Investigations 255, Report: 22 p.; Plate 1: 17.03 inches x 18.58 inches; Plate 2: 17.14 inches x 19.56 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/tei255.","productDescription":"Report: 22 p.; Plate 1: 17.03 inches x 18.58 inches; Plate 2: 17.14 inches x 19.56 inches","numberOfPages":"24","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":289968,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"},{"id":289965,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/0255/plate-1.pdf"},{"id":289966,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/0255/plate-2.pdf"},{"id":289967,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/0255/report.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -107.0123,36.9938 ], [ -107.0123,39.0000 ], [ -104.848,39.0000 ], [ -104.848,36.9938 ], [ -107.0123,36.9938 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"522f2576e4b091aa92f494ac","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dings, M.G.","contributorId":69047,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dings","given":"M.G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":483701,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Schafer, Max","contributorId":101174,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schafer","given":"Max","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":483702,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Emphasis during this investigation was placed on the area between the Savannah River at the border of South Carolina and Georgia and the Catawba River in North Carolina because it contains most of the placers formerly mined for monaziteo Four other areas along the strike of the monazite-bearing crystalline rocks were also studied, They center around Mt. Airy, N.C., Athens, Ga. Griffin, Ga. and LaGrange, Ga. In the Savannah River Catawba River district, studies indicate that even the highest grade stream deposits of more than 10 million cubic yards of alluvium contain less than 1 pound of monazite per cubic yard. The average grade of the better deposits is about 0 0 5 pound of monazite per cubic yard. Only trace amounts of niobium, tantalum, and tin have been detected in the placers. Tungsten is absent. Locally gold adds a few cents per cubic yard to the value of placer ground. The best deposits range in size from 1 to 5 million cubic yards and contain 1 to 2 pounds of monazite to the cubic yard. Hundreds of placers smaller than 1 million cubic yards exceed 2 pounds of monazite to the cubic yard and locally attain an average of 10 pounds Monazite deposits around Athens, Ga., are similar to the smaller deposits in the central part of the Savannah River - Catawba River district. A few small very low-grade monazite placers were found near Mt. Airy, N.C., Griffin, Ga., and LaGrange Ga., but they are of no economic value. The larger the flood plain and the farther it lies from the source of the stream, the lower is the monazite content of the sediment. Monazite cannot be profitably mined .from the crystalline rocks in the five areas. The alluvial placers are in stream sediments of post-Wisconsin age. Some pre-Wisconsin terrace gravel of small areal extent is exposed  but it contains only a small amount of monazite Pre-Wisconsin to early post-Wisconsin colluvial sediments locally contain 2 pounds of monazite to the cubic yard. Mode of presentation of reports covering field work during the seasons of 1951 - 52 is given. No further reconnaissance will be undertaken, in the western monazite belt.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/tei349","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the US Atomic Energy Commission","usgsCitation":"Overstreet, W., Theobald, P.K., White, A.M., Cuppels, N., Caldwell, D.W., and Whitlow, J.W., 1953, Progress report of southeastern monazite exploration, 1952: U.S. Geological Survey Trace Elements Investigations 349, Report: 105 p.; Plate 1: 29.50 inches x 17.12 inches; Plate 2: 77.36 inches x 41.81 inches; 28.59 inches x 21.02 inches; Plate 3: 25.15 inches x 15.28 inches; Plate 4: 25.15 inches x 15.28 inches; Plate 5: 13.20 inches x 19.40 inches; Plate 6: 18.58 inches x 23.61 inches; Plate 7: 25.66 inches x 35.85 inches; Plate 8: 24.44 inches x 36.13 inches; Plate 9: 16.57 inches x 22.52 inches; Plate 10: 14.14 inches x 13.90 inches; Plate 11: 18.31 inches x 14.30 inches; Plate 12: 12.49 inches x 18.14 inches; Plate 13: 14.82 inches x 22.59 inches; Plate 14: 37.89 inches x 27.94 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/tei349.","productDescription":"Report: 105 p.; Plate 1: 29.50 inches x 17.12 inches; Plate 2: 77.36 inches x 41.81 inches; 28.59 inches x 21.02 inches; Plate 3: 25.15 inches x 15.28 inches; Plate 4: 25.15 inches x 15.28 inches; Plate 5: 13.20 inches x 19.40 inches; Plate 6: 18.58 inches x 23.61 inches; Plate 7: 25.66 inches x 35.85 inches; Plate 8: 24.44 inches x 36.13 inches; Plate 9: 16.57 inches x 22.52 inches; Plate 10: 14.14 inches x 13.90 inches; Plate 11: 18.31 inches x 14.30 inches; Plate 12: 12.49 inches x 18.14 inches; Plate 13: 14.82 inches x 22.59 inches; Plate 14: 37.89 inches x 27.94 inches","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":277607,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":279874,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-01.pdf"},{"id":279875,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-02.pdf"},{"id":279876,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-03.pdf"},{"id":279873,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/report.pdf"},{"id":279877,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-04.pdf"},{"id":279878,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-05.pdf"},{"id":279879,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-06.pdf"},{"id":279880,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-07.pdf"},{"id":279881,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-08.pdf"},{"id":279882,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-09.pdf"},{"id":279883,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-10.pdf"},{"id":279884,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-11.pdf"},{"id":279885,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-12.pdf"},{"id":279886,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-13.pdf"},{"id":279887,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/tei/349/plate-14.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Georgia;North Carolina;South Carolina;Virginia","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -85.29,32.40 ], [ -85.29,36.79 ], [ -80.69,36.79 ], [ -80.69,32.40 ], [ -85.29,32.40 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"523979f6e4b04b9308ae4f71","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Overstreet, W.C.","contributorId":105294,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Overstreet","given":"W.C.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":483982,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Theobald, P.

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Brazilian Departamento Nacional da Produqao Mineral, has undertaken a comprehensive program of mapping of these Precambrian deposits, which bear many similarities to other Precambrian iron formations. Itabirite is a finely laminated quartz-iron oxide rock with more or less dolomite, corresponding to James's oxide facies. It occurs principally in the middle group of the Minas series-a eugeosynclinal assemblage of quartzite, schist, chemical precipitates, graywacke, and volcanic rocks. Iron and silica were precipitated rhythmically in a shallow restricted basin under somewhat acid conditions that inhibited the precipitation of carbonates. Erosion of moderately deformed rocks of the Minas series furnished sediments for the overlying conglomeratic Itacolumi series. Severe post-Itacolumi deformation folded and thrust-faulted rocks of both series; the accompanying regional metamorphism recrystallized the chert and iron oxide to quartz, specular hematite, and minor amounts of magnetite. Ultramafic intrusions antedate this diastrophism; granodiorites and various basic dike rocks are younger. Hydrothermal replacement of breccia zones in itabirite and of dolomitic beds associated with the iron formation produced high-grade specular hematite ore nearly free of impurities. The areal distribution of the deposits indicates that the solutions followed fault zones. Heated meteoric water may have been responsible for the replacement, as minerals of obvious magmatic origin are absent. Since early Tertiary time the area has been uplifted several thousand feet. Leaching and cementation related to the present surface have modified both the iron formation and the hematite deposits, giving rise to various types of commercial ore. © 1953 Society of Economic Geologists, Inc.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Economic Geologists","doi":"10.2113/gsecongeo.48.8.639","issn":"03610128","usgsCitation":"Guild, P.W., 1953, Iron deposits of the congonhas district, minas Gerais, Brazil: Economic Geology, v. 48, no. 8, p. 639-676, https://doi.org/10.2113/gsecongeo.48.8.639.","productDescription":"38 p.

The vertical projection of the flight line coincided approximately with the landward limit of the modern beach.  The width of the zone on the ground from which anomalous radiation is measured at the nominal 500 foot flight altitude varies with areal extent and intensity of radioactivity of the source.

Some of the uses of such maps are well known; they are indispensable tools in the modern search for oil or ore deposits; they are the first essential step in unraveling the story of the earth we live on. Less well known, perhaps, is the fact that topographic and geologic maps contain many of the basic data needed for planning any engineering construction job, big or little. Any structure built by man must fit into the topographic and geologic environment shown on such maps. Moreover, most if not all construction jobs must be based on knowledge of the soils and waters, which also are intimately related to this same environment. The topographic map shows the shape of the land the hills and valleys, the streams and swamps, the man-made features such as roads, railroads, and towns. The geologic map shows the kinds and shapes of the rock bodies that form the land surface and that lie beneath it.

In October 1950, 116 large lake trout (average total length, 27.3 inches) were tagged near Keweenaw Point, Michigan. Fifteen (12.9 percent) were recovered during the first year at points as far west as the Gooseberry River, Minnesota (190 miles), north to the Slate Islands, Ontario (95 miles), and east to Grand Marais, Michigan (100 miles). Nine fish (7.8 percent) were recovered during the second year after marking. Returns from 617 tagged lake trout of smaller size (average length 18.2 inches) released in the Apostle Island region of Wisconsin during the period June 12 to August 6, 1951, numbered 140 (22.7 percent) during the first year. Of these fish, 90 percent were recaptured within a radius of 50 miles of the points of release. Seventy-six percent were caught in Wisconsin, 14 percent in Minnesota, and 9 percent in Michigan waters. The fish retaken in Michigan had moved 120 to 255 miles between the time of release and recapture, traveling as far west as Grand Marais. Lake trout recaptured at distances of more than 50 miles from the tagging locality were of larger average size than marked fish caught within this radius. </p><p>The four types of tags used in the marking of lake trout in the Apostle Island region, together with the number tagged and percentage recovered during the first year were as follows: 103 aluminum lower-jaw tags (used only on fish less than 17 inches in length when marked)-10.7 percent; 200 monel upper-jaw tags-14 percent; 162 streamer tags-19.8 percent; and 152 Peterson tags-45.4 percent. Obviously lake trout marked with the Peterson tag, with the discs and ends of the pin projecting from each side near the point of maximum girth, were more vulnerable to the fishery than were fish marked with other tags. The recoveries of marked fish show that Lake Superior lake trout-particularly fish of large size-may move many miles and freely cross political boundaries; and that the rate of harvest is moderately high for a fish with a life history as long as that of the lake trout.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","doi":"10.1577/1548-8659(1952)82[68:TMOTLT]2.0.CO;2","usgsCitation":"Eschmeyer, P.H., Daly, R., and Erkkila, L.F., 1953, The movement of tagged lake trout in Lake Superior, 1950-52: Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, v. 82, no. 1, p. 68-77, https://doi.org/10.1577/1548-8659(1952)82[68:TMOTLT]2.0.CO;2.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"68","endPage":"77","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":131506,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin","otherGeospatial":"Lake Superior","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -91.19938850679905,\n              47.70219251975135\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.37337344484679,\n              46.40701495117111\n            ],\n            [\n              -83.83637874402585,\n              45.65664135395102\n            ],\n            [\n              -84.57836262100768,\n              47.082340243879926\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.18587494263889,\n              48.25603863790735\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.83058347192485,\n              48.02490350307414\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.19938850679905,\n              47.70219251975135\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"82","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b32e4b07f02db6b4732","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Eschmeyer, Paul H.","contributorId":86719,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Eschmeyer","given":"Paul","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":308169,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Daly, Russell","contributorId":97857,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Daly","given":"Russell","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":308171,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Erkkila, Leo F.","contributorId":92197,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Erkkila","given":"Leo","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":308170,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The porosity and permeability of the ore-bearing sandstone in one area are relatively low, porosity averaging about 15 percent and permeability ranging between 30 and 3300 millidarcys. Permeability studies in this same area show that sandstone classed as favorable for ore is slightly more permeable than and has nearly twice the transmissibility of sandstone classed as semifavorable; outcrop studies also suggest a lower transmissibility for sandstone that is unfavorable.</p>\n<p>Samples of water from the ore-bearing and associated strata show considerable variation in chemical charter. These water samples are generally low in uranium, vanadium, copper, and lead, most samples containing less than 1 part per million (ppm) of each metal.</p>\n<p>General geologic relations suggest that ground-water movement probably was active through the ore-bearing strata during their deposition and shortly afterward. Movement during this time probably occurred largely through the more permeable sand strata and in the general direction of initial dip and stream flow. During Cretaceous time, when several thousand feet of marine sediments accumulated over the Morrison, the water contained in the ore-bearing strata probably was immobile or nearly so and was protected from escape or contamination. Following Tertiary deformation and erosion, active ground-water circulation no doubt was restored, but because of the low permeability and the lenticular character and therefore low transmissibility of the ore-bearing sandstone, ground-water movement probably was slow. Faulting probably also influenced the direction and rate of ground-water movement during Tertiary time.</p>\n<p>Movement and localization of ground water would permit the concentration of metal-bearing solutions during Salt Wash and early Brushy Basin time in the beds that now contain ore deposits. It is more difficult to explain the formation of these deposits, which have a wide geographic distribution at a restricted stratigraphic position, from solutions circulating through the rocks at a later date.</p>\n<p>Whatever mode of origin is used to explain the deposits, geologists almost without exception, agree that the metals were transported by solutions that have migrated through the sediments for considerable distances.

Total production from the years 1893 to 1946 has amounted to about 94 million dollars, with principal values in contained gold but with some silver and lead values. The principal mine is the Alaska-Juneau mine, from which the lode system takes its name.\r\n\r\nThe lode system is a part of a larger gold-bearing belt, generally referred to as the Juneau gold belt, along the western border of the Coast Range batholith.\r\n\r\nThe rocks of the Alaska-Juneau lode system consist of a monoclinal sequence of steeply northeasterly dipping volcanic, state, and schist rocks, all of which have been metamorphosed by dynamic and thermal processes attendant with the intrusion of the Coast Range batholith. The rocks form a series of belts that trend northwest parallel to the Coast Range. In addition to the Coast Range batholith lying a mile to the east of the lode system, there are numerous smaller intrusives, all of which are sill-like in form and are thus conformable to the regional structure.\r\n\r\nThe bedded rocks are Mesozoic in age; the Coast Range batholith is Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous in age. Some of the smaller intrusives pre-date the batholith, others post-date it. All of the rocks are cut by steeply dipping faults.\r\n\r\nThe Alaska-Juneau lode system is confined exclusively to the footwall portion of the Perseverance slate band. The slate band is composed of black slate and black phyllite with lesser amounts of thin-bedded quartzite. Intrusive into the slate band are many sill-like bodies of rocks generally referred to as meta-gabbro.\r\n\r\nThe gold deposits of the lode system are found both within the slate rocks and the meta-gabbro rocks, and particularly in those places where meta-gabbro bodies interfinger with slate. Thus the ore bodies are found in and near the terminations of meta-gabbro bodies.\r\n\r\nThe ore bodies are quartz stringer-lodes composed of a great number of quartz veins from 6 inches to 3 feet wide and extending along their strike and dip for several tens to hundreds of feet. In addition to quartz, the only other vein gangue mineral is ankerite. It occurs in small amounts along the borders of the quartz veins. Metallic vein minerals, in addition to native gold, are, in order of decreasing abundance, pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite. In the aggregate the metallic minerals comprise only 1 to 2 percent of the total amount of vein material.\r\n\r\nThe wall rock, particularly the meta-gabbro, was profoundly altered by the vein-forming processes. The principal effects on the meta-gabbro were the addition of large amounts of soda, potash, titanium, carbon dioxide, and phosphorous, and the removal of considerable quantities of iron, magnesia, lime, and combined water. Silica also may have been decreased. The mineralogical changes involved in the alteration were the development of biotite and ankerite at the expense of original hornblende and feldspar, resulting in a brown-colored biotite- and ankerite-rich rock. The slates are relatively unaffected by the vein-forming processes.\r\n\r\nBecause of their small size, relatively low grade, and discontinuity, no attempt has been made to mine any individual vein. The prevailing practice has been to mine large blocks of ground by a system of modified block-caving, followed by hand sorting to remove the barren country rock from the gold-bearing quartz prior to milling.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"s.n.,","doi":"10.3133/ofr52160","usgsCitation":"Twenhofel, W.S., 1952, Geology of the Alaska-Juneau lode system, Alaska: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 52-160, 175 p. ill., 2 folded maps ;29 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr52160.","productDescription":"175 p. ill., 2 folded maps ;29 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":149434,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1952/0160/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":45251,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1952/0160/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":45252,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1952/0160/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ad5e4b07f02db6836e9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Twenhofel, William Stephens","contributorId":15597,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Twenhofel","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"Stephens","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":172633,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

To create the model, the multiplex projectors must be properly positioned and oriented so that they duplicate the orientation of the aerial camera at the instant of each exposure. By means of a floating mark, horizontal and vertical measurements can be made in the model, and planimetry and contours can be drawn. The applicability of the multiplex to a given mapping project depends largely on the contour interval and compilation scale required, and also depends, to a lesser extent, on the vegetation and terrain cover as it may affect accuracy requirements. The steps in multiplex procedure are orientation, stereotriangulation, and compilation of detail. In orientation, the projectors are arranged so that the projected images form a stereoscopic model which can be adjusted to fit horizontal and vertical control points. In stereotriangulation, three or more multiplex projectors are oriented so that the consecutive models fit existing control, permitting the establishment of additional or intermediate control. In compilation, the features appearing in the model are delineated on the map manuscript.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/cir164","usgsCitation":"Loud, E.I., 1952, Topographic instructions, Book 3, multiplex procedure; Chapter 3 C7a-e: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 164, 76 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir164.","productDescription":"76 p.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":331347,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/0164/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":139129,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a51e4b07f02db629e29","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Loud, Edward I.","contributorId":28959,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Loud","given":"Edward","email":"","middleInitial":"I.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147434,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}
