Plane Table
Sir,—D. Halliday’s plea for a plane table on our hills should be answered not merely as an extra tourist attraction but to supply a long-needed guide to our own Canterbury dwellers who too often see only from a car window or flat, hypnotic roads. In the days when most children walked the hills at week-ends to enjoy clear crystal air and distant glimpses of sea, river and mountains, there , was noone to tell them if Mount Cook appeared to view. Auckland’s plane table was a joy to read. Could ours not have the surrounding districts indicated as foreground adjuncts among the green and lovely carpet to the mountains? —Yours, etc., INSPIRATION SOURCE. June 21, 1966.
