THE FLYING MAN’S ELECTRIC CAMERA
WHAT IT WILL DO ON THE CONGO A wonderfully-equipped aeroplane survey expedition is now on its way to the Rhodesian Congo. Twenty thousand square miles of the Border Concessions are to be surveyed with the new electric air camera described in the C.N. not long ago. Astronomy and wireless have been added to the latest photographic instruments, so that the exact latitude and longtitude can be . aken of every part of the district as it is surveyed. One new instrument is being used which tells the exact altitude of the aeroplane every time a photograph of the ground below is taken, and the height it registers is actually photographed on the picture. One of the chief objects of the expedition is to search for new sources of copper ores.
