  • FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT: AN ACCOUNT OF WORK AT THE Royal Aircraft Establishment ON THE AUTOMATION OF AERIAL FILM PROCESSING
    The Photogrammetric Record, 2006
    Co-Authors: R. C. A. Dando
    Abstract:

    Research and development at the Royal Aircraft Establishment leading to the Type 11, Type 12 and Compact processors for 70 mm and wide film are reviewed, stressing the importance of the balance between photographic considerations of image quality and consistency and the engineering and performance requirements of minimum size and logistics necessary for mobile equipment. In order to obtain the high output rates which are demanded, the efficiency of the various processes was investigated and future prognostications are attempted. The use of the machines for survey and colour processing is also described. Resume On decrit les recherches effectuees par le Royal Aircraft Establishment pour mettre au point le Type 11, le Type 12 et le Compact processor (machines a developper); on insiste sur le compromis aetablir entre les exigences de qualite photographique et celles dues au fait que l'appareillage doit etre mobile. On examine aussi le rendement de ces machines, et on decrit enfin le cas du developpement des emulsions couleur. Zusammenfassung Es wird ein uberblick uber Forschungen und Entwicklungen beim Royal Aircraft Establishment gegeben, die zu den Entwicklungs-maschinen vom Typ 11, 12 und Compact fur Film von 70 mm und grosserer Breite fuhrten, wobei die Bedeutung des Gleichgewichts zwischen der photographischen Bildqualitat und deren Bestandigkeit und den technischen Anforderungen an minimale Grosse und Einfachheit, die fur eine mobile Ausrustung notig sind, betont werden. Um die geforderten hohen Ausgaberaten zu erreichen, wurde die Leistungs-fahigkeit der verschiedenen Prozesse untersucht und es wurde versucht, Prognosen zu geben. Die Verwendung der Maschinen zur Verarbeitung von Vermessungs- und Farbfilm wird ebenfalls beschrieben.

  • The Listing and Conservation of the Farnborough Wind Tunnels
    Journal of Architectural Conservation, 2010
    Co-Authors: Judy Allen
    Abstract:

    AbstractThe Royal Aircraft Establishment factory site at Farnborough, UK, was used for most of the twentieth century to develop and test Aircraft. The origins of the factory site are described together with the development of wind tunnel testing as the design of Aircraft evolved. The significance of some of the factory buildings in use was recognized, and as the site was declared redundant and sold for redevelopment, attempts were made to safeguard the aeronautical heritage. During preparation of a Development Brief for the area around the listed wind tunnel buildings, the listings of the former factory buildings were reviewed. The brief and philosophy for the conservation of the listed wind tunnel buildings are described, and the current and potential uses of the retained historic buildings discussed.

  • THE MICROWAVE REMOTE SENSING EXPERIMENT FOR SPACELAB 1
    The Photogrammetric Record, 2006
    Co-Authors: A. Haskell
    Abstract:

    This paper describes the Microwave Remote Sensing Experiment (MRSE) for Spacelab in the context of other microwave remote sensing developments. It includes an account of the objectives of the MRSE project, a brief description of the hardware and a description of the operational plan and of the types of data that will be delivered to the experimenters. Details of the work that is planned to be carried out at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, using the MRSE facility are given as an example of the type of work that can be contemplated using MRSE. Resume On decrit une experience de teledection par ondes micrometriques (projet MRSE), en vue de l'application au satellite Spacelab. On donne les buts, une description du materiel, du fonctionnement, et des types de donnees qui seront offerts aux utilisateurs; et en exemple ce qui est fait en ce domaine au Royal Aircraft Establishment (Farnborough). Zusammenfassung Beschreibung eines Fernerkundungsexperiments mit Mikrowellen (MRSE) fur das Spacelab-Unternehmen im Zusammenhang mit anderen Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Fernerkundung. Bericht uber die Zielstel-lung des MRSE-Projektes, kurze Beschreibung der hardware und des Operationsplanes sowie der Datentypen, die erhalten werden. Details der Arbeit, die beim Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough ausgefuhrt werden soll, werden angegeben, um ein Beispiel fur die mit Hilfe des MRSE-Systems moglichen Ergebnisse zu skizzieren.
