GREAT ADVANCE
Optical Photography
NEW YORK, December 30.
The war has caused developments in optical photography which might otherwise have required a century, said Colonel George Goddard (Director of the Photographic Research Laboratory), Wrightfield. The greatest progress has been made in high-altitude reconnaissance photography, a spherical place camera being capable of recording all Berlin in one exposure. It could photograph the whole of an area of 400 square miles from 30,000 feet, with a 40-inch telephoto lens, defining railway sleepers at 30.000 feet. Photographs taken in darkness show details as clearly as taken in daylight.
