the introduction of some form of time
indicator. At present the gun camera
in photographing a hit also registers
the time on the same image.
ut was believed at first that the
aiming of the gun camera would have
to be done mechanically, and one had
visions of intricate gears and other
mechanism. But the problem of aim
ing was solved by a system of mirrors.
"The gun camera is properly regis
tered with relation to the sights of
the machine gun to which it is at
tached by first sighting the machine
gun on point definite distance
away and then moving the camera so
that the point of the bisecting lines
of the 'graticule' fell exactly on the
point where the gun was sighted. Suit
able clamping members then insure
the accuracy of aim.
'In place of the explosive force of
the usual cartridge, something had
to be introduced in the gun camera

model have made use of a spring,

and each exposure called for a manual
operation.
Then the United States entered the
war, and among other things the mat
ter Of q satisfactory gun camera came
up in due course. AS rush Job, the
British gun camera was not at all bad,
but after a while the American camera
designers came forth with an idea for
making the gun camera separate
device that might be attached to any
standard Lewis gun. In that manner,
they pointed out, it would be possible
for an airman to obtain more realistic
training. Again, more realism called
for a camera that could make 100 ex-
posures at one loading, and like the
machine gun could fire in bursts and
continue firing automatically as long as
the trigger was under pressure.
"The gun camera in its perfected
form weighs only thirteen pounds in
all and has a lens barrel but eight
inches long and two and half inches

ton throughout. The film magazine is

gun magazine lock. which serves to
fasten the film magazine in place.

The Aeronautical Society had on ex-

thirty-four feet high, and twenty-five

n T WAS for some time a question
with the men and officers of tho
A. British fleet whether or not the
Germans were flying aeroplanes
from the decks or turrets of their
warships and whether they had
done anything in the development of
the aeroplane- carrying ships Of the
type Of the Furious, the Argus and
the new Nindictive. A member Of
the Allied Naval Commission in Ger
man waters recently wrote:
"Those who saw the German ships at
close range when they were brought
over to surrender for internment had
little doubt about the first point, and
any one who had a chance to observe
the Germans themselves when they
were in sight of one of the British fly
ing machine carrying ships had the
answer to the second.
German light cruisers, battle-cruis-
ars and battleshps showed no evidence
either of carrying aeroplanes or of hav-
ing been equipped to carry and fly
them. The very evident astonishment
which the Germans displayed at the
sight OF aeroplanes perched on the tur-
rets of British battleships and battle
cruisers, or on the revolving platforms
of the light cruisers, made it practi-
cally certain that they we're gazing on
q sight entirely new to them. Even
greater was the excitement they dis
played at the sight Of the British car
ricr' ships. Few of them saw the
Furious and Nindictive-the only two
in the line Of the Grand Fleet the day
Of the surrender-at under three miles
and at that distance even their fine
Zeiss and Corr glasses would not have
revealed much in the way of details.
But when the squadron of 'Kaiscrs
were being escorted up to Scapa for
internment by the division of Iron
