- Well, what are you silent? Speak! demanding ordered Barno.
"Eh, well, say nothing to the elders! These are topographic maps, or rather boxes for storing maps. Numbers and Letters denote the list of topographic maps. If in short it is a system for dividing the earth's surface into separate sheets of topographic maps and their designations adopted in the second empire . Maps are compiled in a Gaussian-Krueger projection in an equiangular transverse-cylindrical projection, calculated from the parameters of the Krasovsky ellipsoid for the six-degree zone. Well, then you won't be interested in it, "Dar said in a boring voice.
Yes, you're right. I'm already bored! without emotion in her voice said Barno.
I am not interested in their scientific side! Why did you say that it was interesting and your voice was so excited! Here is what I want to know! asked Barno.
Well, here, the fact is that old topographic maps cost good money! these maps are at least 1939, but if you understand a little about cartography, then most likely ...
The shooting area was in 1935-34, which means good money. These topographic worksheets do not appear anywhere, they were written off, they were forgotten. If you cut the seals, you can easily earn 200-300 dollars for each sheet, and if you are lucky, then all 1000 dollars! He said with a slight shake of the bones and smiling at Dara.
Not bad however! And how many sheets do you think here? asked leaning forward Barno.
Well, not less than 200 sheets, still looking at what scale, said Dara.
But you can't throw so many sheets onto the market right away, it will attract too much attention and prices will fall. He insisted Dara.
Well, that's understandable, this is the marketing base, said Barno.
Well, how will we sell this?
Why us and not me? What do you have to do with this? tried to protect his future money Dara.
Because I know about it! And you don't want the elders to know about it! The beauty remarked evenly.
Yes ... no luck! Well what to do here! We will not sell the cards themselves, but their scanned copies, at $ 40 per stock, said Dara.
Oh! How fast can we make money? the girl asked.
Probably for the year! answered Dara.
And how many? asked Barno
probably from 5,000 to 10,000 dollars if you slowly sell and if all at once, then it's better to turn it over to the state!
Yeah! Or maybe you will hand over all these topographic maps to our archive? asked Barno, imbued with the spirit of the archivist.
Same thing! The country will also benefit, topographic maps will remain at home, maybe they will be explored! noticed the beaming Dara. Since he felt that selling them he would get more trouble than benefit.
In gratitude, the state will give $ 200! This is so cool! But first, we will be able to remove all copies on the scanner! And then sell copies for $ 20 or maybe $ 2, as luck would have it! said Dara wearily.
Well, for now, go see how many sheets of cards there are, you are an archivist, you can immediately start adding them to your catalog, Dara said.
He noticed a topographic map with the number 47086_1 on the wall. This was not a map of Europe, but of their territory, Small-An. Topographic map of 1892, 10 versts, compiled by the colonel of the topographic service of Tsar Bolshev, it was sheet 19.
On the topographic map there was a seal with the number 47086-1.
The area of the Light Mountains was seen in red and blue lines. The triangles were marked ...
