7.37 The 8 inches to 1 mile series was not revised since it is intended to commence its replacement with a new 1/10,000 (about 6 inches to 1 mile) series. However, the feasibility sheet was not a great success and further discussion led to the preparation of a new pilot sheet at 1/7,500, production of which will commence during the next year.
7.38 The production of revised 1/10,000 series L884 dual-language editions continues on a limited basis. As with all map scales, the future of this series is affected by metrication, since, although 1/10,000 is an S.I. scale, it is plotted to Imperial grid values and has Imperial contours. Ten sheets were revised, printed and distributed during the year, two sheets were with the printer and a further six were under revision at the end of the period. The actual revision of these sheets is now largely a drawing office function undertaken by Cartographic Assistants from the up-to-date air photographs.
7.39 Repro-material of the four component 1/10,000 sheets for one further 1/25,000 Series L882 sheet was forwarded to the Director of Military Survey, United Kingdom, for the production of a second Edition of that scale. Demand for these maps remains heavy. Arrangements have just been finalized to reprint locally all the sheets for which no second Edition is expected within the next year, comprising 17 sheets and a total of 27,500 prints.
7.40 The rate of miscellaneous work for all sections of Crown Lands and Survey Office, for other departments and for public sale, has increased to such an extent that two posts have been created to cope with it in the coming year. It includes serial photograph indexing and the preparation of index maps thereof, simplified grid reference booklets, various indices for metrication and contract mapping policies, maps for Police, Defence Branch, General Post Office, Mass Transit etc., and the preparation of several wall maps for various heads of departments.
7.41 The metrication of the two-sheet 1/50,000 HK1 series is well in hand. During the next year it is intended to print a new metric edition in two versions, one with elevation tints, hillshading and 50 m contours and an unlayered version with 25 m contours. The detail revision remains to be completed. Stocks of the reprinted second Edition (3,600 sheets) are expected to last till October 1973.
