Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt:

I am not sure I know what the precise definition of schizophrenic is but it always seemed to me that Charlie Helmson should be classified as such. I mean, there were two halves to Charlie's personality and you were sometimes several months being introduced to the second half. I worked with him for eighteen months during a rather hectic mapping program during which we established ground control for an aerial survey being conducted by the Melbourne Mining Corporation.
Which was the facade for a magnesium intrigued subsidy of The Bank of America, at least the bank was the financial authority behind the enterprise as it was conducted in the wilds of Eastern Washington. Charlie was an engineer. He defined elevations and lineal dimensions that would guide the aerial photo mappers during their assembly of nine by nine exposures of the terrain as produced by the aerial photographers in endless flight strips. I was the coordinator and translator. I translated Charlie's scribbled field books and made sure that the first one coordinated dimensionally with the next one. It wasn't always easy because Charlie had an aversion to printing figures and notes so they could be read and when there was a gap, Charlie's dramatic explanations had to be deciphered and made right so the "strip" on which we were working would eventually come out so it could be worked with by the plane jockeys.
