mind you, is between yourself and
the camera, is simply q wooden
frame with wires strung tightly
across it, at equal distances and par
allel, so as TO form a series of
squares.
Necessarily, the resulting photo
graph is cut up by thin black lines
into a network of squares, and your
measurements are indicated by the
number of squares and portions of
squares occupied by your body in
the picture. With half a dozen such
photographs taken of yourself, in
different attitudes, it is a simple
problem in mathematics to calculate
your dimensions all ways.
To make sure that such salient
points as the armpits are correctly
indicated in the photograph, the in
ventor has devised a sort of harness
that holds the clothing close to the
body-thus avoiding the necessity of
stripping.
1t may be that before long this
ingenious plan will be applied to the
measuring of women for tailor-made
