Yf For example, Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine is 1 MLfT changing constantly with the removal of almost 300,000 f iJJ tons of ore and overburden every 24 hours. To pinpoint I these changes, mine engineers need up-to-date topographi- I cal maps. However, map making is tedious work and maps rapidly become outdated. The computer and its data processing systems have A infi1 changed all this. Calculations are made, punched onto cards fil Ll S ll C and programmed into the computer.
