Show MIDAIR PHOTOGRAPHY. V Cameras on the wing aro flying through Germany. A projectile to (t take photographs and claimed to have been successful at heights of half a mile is tho idea of Hen (, Marie, a German photographer. A camera having the form of the (j usual kind of conical shell is thrown into tho air by means of a kind of v trap. At a predetermined angle, as ( the camera turns to make its descent and is pointed slightly downward the shutter is automatically released and a pitcure is taken of n broad ex- panse of country. fj In still air the flight and spot at . which the aerial camera will fall V can be calculated with much pre- I cision. Precautions are taken to avoid ( domago by concussion, and tho re- . suits aro expected to be of great pos- ' sible value in military operations. ( Chicago Tribune. |
