GUARDED SECRET OF AIR
stereoscopes Used In War Were
Made BY n. c. White Co.

Made BY n. c. White Co.
The II. f. White company, which
probably manufacturers more stere-
scopes in their plant at North Ben
.nington than are manufactured in all
other parts Of the world put together,
has furnished the government all the
microscopes which have been used
for stereoscopic photography from
airplanes since the United States en-
tered the war Not only have they
shipped them to various aviation
camps in this county but also to the
American EXpeditionary Force in
France.
The following article taken from
the New York Times OF December
18th, is of general interest and tells
OF the successful use Of the stereo
scope in aerial service during the
way:
One OF the best guarded secrets Of
the war in the air has been the extra
ordinarily successful use made OF the
stereoseope as an aid 10 aerial intelli
gence by the British Royal Air Force
Every one is familiar with the optical
device by which two photographs are
viewed side by side through pair Of
lenses with the result that the objects
/ represented are seen to stand out in
striking relief Early in the war
when specially constructed cameras
were first being used for photograph
| ing the ienemys trenches and fortified
tions from the air it occurred to an
officer in the Flying Corps that If two
/ photographs were taken in the air,
separated only by an inyersal Of a
few seconds, the movement Of the air
plane in the meantime would sufIici-
emily alter the perspective to produce
a successful stereOscopic picture
An opportunity for testing this idea
existed in the salient al Ypres, where
the stark ruins of Cloth Hall, and 9th
er buildings naked toward the sky.
casting long, spirelike shadows upon
the ground.
The early experiments We're only
partly successful Many technical
difficulties had to be overcome. IL
was found that a longer interval of
time between the exposures was re.
CURED than at first seemed necessary
and some other problems connected
I With the very low density OF aerial
negatives demanded solution. But
after patient research some atereopic
air photographs of the finest quality
were produced
Officers and men Of the Royal Air
Force in all the Photographic training
stations in Great Britain were set to
work to specialize in the rapid pro
duction Of aerial stereoscopic pictures
and for months past every photogra-
pher sent out to the war zone has
been fully trained in this branch OF
work
Only those who have been prlyiIeg
ed to examine specimens OF stereos
copic photography can realize how
valuable an instrument OF Intelligence
this development Of technical re-
sourcefulness placed in British hands.
Owing to the high relief in which OBJ
lects are seen it was found possible
to estimate to few inches The height
OF barbados and entangloments. the
depth of trenches and dugouts, and IN
other ways to anticipate the character
OF the difficulties to be overcome by
the infantry and tanks.
