CAN SPOT OBJECTS
BEHIND THE LINES
OF GERMAN FORCES
FRENCH FRONT, April 18 — (Correspondence of
i The Associated Press)—Accuracy and efficiency have be
; on made possible for the French artillery by the invention
•of an instrument that enables French map-makers to
locate almost exactly an object within the enemy lines
which has been photographed from an airplane. In trans
! ferring to a map the photographed object, such say as an
| enemy battery or munition dump, the margin or error is
j limited to less than five yards.
This permits the French artillary to pour its shells
with almost certain aim on to German gun emplacements,
trench positions, cross-roads, cantonments, railroad lines,
| aviation camps and other enemy organizations. It is un
necessary for the gunner to have even a distant view of
the object he is firing at.
To take a photograph of the enemy lines from a Fre
' nch airplane is an easy matter but to transfer the objects
photographed to their exact location on a map was for a j
. time extremly difficult. This was due to the varying j
; heights and angles from which the airplane observers j
made their photographs. By the invention of one of the!
I officers attached to the Geographical Section this difficul- ^
ty has been almost eliminated.
Not only the aeriel observation service but other
methods of spotting German positions — more especially
cannon and machine-gun emplacements — are utilized
[ as aids to the work of the military map-maker. The |
flashes of guns as they are fired from the German side i
form one valuable adjunct to his work but the most im
portant of all is the calculation of speed of the sound of
the firing charge of the Germati shells. This has been
brought to a basis of such perfection that the guns can
now be located with almost absolute accuracy. In fact in i
recent operations it has proved that the system of observa
tion by sound has given successful results in over 80 per- j
cent of instances.
In every army there is a branch of the Geographical
Section and each is furnished with a complete lithographic
and zinagraphic printing plant and skilled workers, pho
tographers and mathematicians. In every few hours
after the receipt of the day’s observations from all the
various sources, dozens of copies of the coi’rected maps
are ready for issue to all the staffs of corps, divisions and j
brigates comprised within the army concerned.
Nothing is omitted form the maps every church,'
house, chimney, mill, bridge, road, railroad, group of trees:
is marked as well as every turn and tmist of an enemy |
trench of system of barbed wire entanglements, every
stream, ditch, bridge, ford, every path used by supply
parties, every point of resistance, organized shell crater j
lock-out post is shown on the maps. Maps on a larger
scale are given when an attack is about to be carried out,
so that each officer and man participating may know ex-j
actly what is in front of him and what he may expect
to encounter during his advance.
