OPTICAL MARVELS
GREAT STRIDES IN WAR PHOTOGRAPHY.
ALL BERLIN IN ONE EXPOSURE
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright)
(Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, December 30. The war has caused optical and] photographic developments which might otherwise have required a century, said Colonel George Goddard, Director of the Photographic Research Laboratory at Wrightfield. The greatest progress had been made in high • altitude reconnaissance photography. The spherical space camera was capable of recording all Berlin in one exposure. It could photograph the whole of an area of 400 square miles from 30,000 feet. A forty-inch telephoto lens defined railway sleepers at 30,000 feet. Photographs taken in darkness now showed details as clearly as those taken in daylight.
