Congratulations British Pathé. It is amazing to see a great job being done to preserve the History from United Kingdom and around the World. From Rio, Brazil.
My dad was a cartographical draughtsman at the Ordnance Survey in Southampton during the war, and up to the early 1970's when he retired. It's great to see how map making was done then, compared to the way it's done these days.
Such intricate skill. Computers have replaced a lot of the work humans have to do these days, and I’m not always sure if that’s a good thing. There’s something so great about seeing these masters practicing their craft.
i mean look at the maps that had all kinds of wierd ass monsters in them they got alot wrong mainly cause they didnt know any better but still we came a long way from rolled up paper
Ancient maps weren't about accuracy. It was more about the general direction and guessing what could be. I have a famous facsimile map from the Vatikan and it's beautiful to see how highly detailed it is around now-Germany and France. Beyond that, even Italy, is almost not recognizable. And everything is on its head.
I'm drawing maps as a hobby. I started out with almost no knowledge and read books, studied videos, etc. This job back then would have been my ultimate dream. Just amazing.
Am I glad that there is GIS (geo informatics) today. Map making on computers is SO much easier. It still can be tedious today, but the process is a lot quicker.
The quality of old maps from the 1900s are remarkably accurate with the shaps of buildings and trees i like seeing old maps of where i live and where i went to school some councl estates were built as late as the 70s council dwellings started at the end of ww1 you can see the fashion of the times with red bricks and a render on the top half with an archways on doors then in the 50s they started modernised with upvc features
Salute to the human ingenuity dedication working ethics and the seriousness in having built a world in the modern era Special thanks to the British people
Well done Girl, doing her bit! What's fascinating back in 1961, is modes of dress. Chaps with long brown overalls are lower order workers. The higher order workers are in suits. The girl isn't even featured.
Which years did thise video was made ? And we see all thise machanicsem are not too advance tecnology like us know so how can thy make it thise is awesome gread for us very much help to thy feture that we are using know so all of thise are make and made for us if thy don't created at that time thn we are still in the dark age so thanks of all the scientific technology and advance mechanical engineering tht we are used from every home an transportation tht we still have use you and me so we are thankful and salute to our forefathers and God that give us wanterfull idea and mind to genarate every advance technology
No trecho 1:51 do vídeo, o cara não deveria usar um modelo esférico( Globo ) ao invés do plano para medir o ângulo e a distância, no mapa? A terra segue plana desde o princípio da criação.
It used to take 2 men a whole year to do what these machines can do in an afternoon. People have been replaced by machines for decades. And now, there’s AI.
the peak of the mechanical age!

This is a truly remarkable piece of history!
I am so glad youtube recommended this to me, so mesmerising!
It’s always a great ego check to see the brilliant and skilled people who transformed history doing what appears to be complete magic

Makes you wonder how much trial and error the early map-makers went into the process of ancient map-making from thousands of years ago.
A great deal and they knew it!

Disagree.
@@EnterShikari01 You have the right to be wrong.
No doubt! The maps had to have been out of date by the time they hit store shelves.
I'm glad there's a girl to help. Doing her part. ;)
If she's helping the machine who's making the tea?
@@awatt the men if they're smart enough :)

Those "girls" are probably too busy inventing computer programming and such.
Extremely underrated comment
Cool comment bud bet your gf loves ya

Amazing video ❤
Amazing 👏👏👏👏
Wow that's so amazing 💕

Special thanks to the British people
Brilliant work....with amazing skills.. Stilla surprise for all humans. 🎊🎉👌👌🎉
Truely Masterpiece..
We may be the last generation who got trained this method.
Still these machines are available in survey department of Sri Lanka.
interesting...
This is how our Grandparent navigated without GoogleMap 😉
this is very interesting to be watch.
The time when Britain decided to draw their own map instead of making a new one for others on Earth.
"With a girl to help" 😂
Interesting
I like your new sunglasses!
This would be a frustrating job to me as maps are always needing to be updated.
If you ever want to feel inadequate as a modern mapper, watch this video.
Literally me rn.
And now we have it on our phones.
Fascinating

The announcer's voice reminds me of a Monty Python sketch.

It's astounding they did it with non-metric their miles and yards 🫡🫡🫡
