Three lenses look out through an hour-glass-shaped opening in the front of the Cinerama camera. Each lens covers, about one-third of the camera's 145-degree angles of "vision". A single shutter rotates in front of the lenses at the point where their lines of view cross. A sound-absorbing box, en-casting the camera, muffles the noise of the mechanism. March 17, 1953.

Clearly visible at the far end of the tunnel, past the model being tested, is air-screw which according to the original caption'develops air speeds up to 60 miles per hour'. The original caption also states that 'moments about three different axes are measured by means of the aero-dynamic balance located behind the metal plates seen on the extreme right and left of this picture'.

This photograph shows a telescopic camera for ultraviolet star photography for Skylab's Ultraviolet Panorama experiment (S183) placed in the Skylab airlock. The S183 experiment was designed to obtain ultraviolet photographs, at three wavelengths, of hot stars, clusters of stars, large stellar clouds in the Milky Way, and nuclei of other galaxies. The Marshall Space Flight Center had program responsibility for the development of Skylab hardware and experiments.

Photography in the Royal Air Force, 1939-1945. A Type F.24 aerial camera Mark I, for night photography. Attached to the lens cone, on the left hand side, is a photo-electric cell, valve amplifier and relay mechanism. On the left, connected to the camera body, is the camera driving motor. To the right of the camera is a Type 35 No. 5 camera control unit, and, at far right, a distribution box containing the batteries and an accumulator. The illumination for night photography was provided by a 4.5 Aircraft Photographic Flash, fuzed for the height at which the aircraft was flying.

International Research On Use of Tin: Laboratories in Britain Serve The World -- New alloys platings developed by the Tin Research Institute and now in commercial use: Tin-Zine as an anti-corosion coating for radio-chassis. Tin-Nickel plating on a brass fruit-bowl, needs no mechanical polishing after deposition and bas as warmer, pleasanter tone than chromium. Spoon is coated with"Speculum" a tin-copper alloy now available as a plated coating but used earlier in Greco-Roman times and in Ancient China in the form of cast mirrors hence the name.

Bathyscaphe For Piccard-Cosyns Deep Sea Diving Expedition: The bathyscaphe, which is in two parts, which Professors Auguste Piccard & Max Cosyns will use when after arrival in the Gulf of Guinea off the West Coast of Africa - they will make the greatest deep-sea diving test in history. The lower sphere is an air-tight cabin from which the two men will observe ocean life. Above is a float of reservoirs which will be filled with 7,000 gallons of aviation fuel. It is seen aboard the 4,000-ton steamer "Scaldis" be before departure from Antwerp for the expedition.The Piccard-Cosyne expedition is of much scientific importance, for the man who made the world gasp with astonishment 17 years ago by going up 10 miles in a balloon, will enter the steel bathyscaphe with his partner Cosyne - and descent 2½ miles into the black depths of ocean, 9/10ths of which has been hitherto unexplored. September 13, 1948.
