Here is a request for information that I thought someone on CARTA or MAPS-L
might be able to help with.

Subject: 3-dimensional images
 
Has anyone out there come across a red/green 3D map showing a part of
New York - (red/green spectacles provided) - by Tobar Limited, St
Margaret, Harleston, Norfolk IP20 0PJ. Telephone number, 0986-82537.  We
have been given one.   Buildings are shown more or less bird's eye view
style.   Other than a separate description of 3 Dimensional images and
how they work etc. no further information is given other than mentioning
that 3D photography is used for, amongst other things, map making.  Any
of you folk seen other examples?  I am just curious.
For information:   Edinburgh University Library (and the University)
closes at 5 p.m. today Thursday 23rd December 1992 and re-opens at 9
a.m. on Wednesday 5th January 1994.   Naturally e-mail can still come in
to be read later!
Happy Christmas and all the best for 1994.
