G. Annotated Bibliographies in Geodesy Cartography and photogrammetry
These will be appended. in the appropriate papers-at the end of
the appropriate section or chapters. These will be available for technical
level personnel interested in greater detail and will not be treated
in the reports themselves except as a part of the intelligence summaries.
The one on gravity, considered to be the most i ortant, will have an
extended evaluated summary prepared by and will be issued
as a supplement to the first report on Geodetic llravimetry :in the 'SL`R"
issued in 1951.
Status: These are in advanced stages of preparation.
