      The application of the digital computer to the compilation and drafting of cartographic line data has been extended to the compilation and drafting of cartographic names and symbols. This thesis describes the programs and photo-typesetting hardware forming and integrated system for Computer Aided Name Placement and computer controlled photo-typesetting. The system utilizes a PDP/Be compute with 8k word core memory, an 832k word disk unit, 9 track magnetic tape unit, precision x-y plotting mechanism and the special cathode ray type photo-typesetter unit mounted on the gantry of the x-y mechanism
