Military photographic 'bIrd's eye views

balloons, kites, or rockets. DIR. Ncuhron-
ncr ha~ discovered that they may bc taken
also with the aid Of carrier pigeons.
Ii X not easy To construct an automatic
camera with a maximum focal length Of
two inches and a maximum weight Of 2 IL
ounces, including all appurtenanccs, but
the problem was finally solved by a Frank
fort firm. One form of the apparatus
comprises two complete cameras, with
their lenses directed forward and back
ward, so that AT least one land view i
obtained when both plates are exposed
simultaneously in any position Of the bird.
The cameras are amounted on a thin alumni
mum c%uriass which i attached 10 the bird
by straps and rubber bands.
The shutter j. released BY 4 spoon
shaped lever. The DOW Of the spoon Is
pressed outward by a hollow rubber ball
filled with compressed air and perforated
by a very small %orifice. a. the air slow
ly escapes. the ball collapses and the lever
moves until ii releases the shutter and
makes the exposure IA 4 moment that can
be pretty accurately determined ia adj
vance. Another form of the apparatu,
contains a single lens and 4 strip of film
on which eight pictures are taken at diff
ferent intervals with the aid of the airball

may probably be increased 40 iwcnty-four
or thirty.
