What an exciting venture Chris Beacock is involved in! The list
of episodes covers mapping of counties, roads, coasts,
mountains, geology, and military operations. The episode
covering Harry Beck's London Underground map should cover
stylization, simplicity, function (I'm sure the program will
visit the room at the London Transport museum devoted to that
map). However, I'm not sure about the episode on triangulation
and would prefer to see an episode devoted to administrative
boundaries (taking up the problem of historic or traditional
counties) and property surveys. If a technically oriented
episode is still required, I'd probably bump the Operation Sea
Lion program out of the lineup.
Cheers,
Al Magary
