Abstract The results are given of a series of tests where a stereoscope, parallax bar, and digital computer were used to derive accurate heights of a large number of points in several models. After suitable modifications of the standard formula, the conclusion is reached that results approaching those obtained with plotting machines are possible, provided that the observer has sufficient experience of stereoscopic measurement.
