EYES OF THE ARMY" T..
HOW THEY'RE TRAINED
TO PHOTOGRAPH FOE
Air PHOTOGRAPHERS Make the Maps of the Hun
Lines, from Which All Military Movements
Are Now Decided

the Photographic section might have
TO make 80 TO 100 prints. This means
10000 to 10000 prints night. The
only rest the "eyes OF the army" have
is on rainy or stormy days;
The value of this information de-
ponds on the speed of its production.
A Photographic print is turned out
| from plate in 90 minutes from the
| time the machine lands with it. A
map drawn from the photographs is
! handed to the officers in the trenches
or the battery commander within two
hours after the plate goes to the dark
! room.
Learning how to do this work in
| three weeks means constant applica-
/, ton to the job. Lectures are followed
! by practical work in the drafting
room, and the men have few spare
moments. The French government is
constantly sending over thousands OF
aerial photographs taken on the front
| for use by the classes. In addition.
aerial photographs are being taken
over the country lying between Ithaca
and Rochester for Interpretation. At
the end Of the course the men are dis
!; tributed to Langley Field at Hamp-
ton. Va and other fields, from where
| they are sent overseas, as needed.
