Abstract

A platen for forming reseau marks on a photographic film for a mapping camera or the like which includes a substantially flat platen body provided with a plurality of apertures in each of which is positioned a projector, the apertures being arranged in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of the reseau marks to be formed on the film so that light from a source on one side of the platen is formed into a light beam by the projectors representative of the reseau mark and forms an image on film held by a vacuum against the other side of the platen and which is also exposed to an optical image by the camera.
