A Photographic Revolver for Amateurs.

The apparatus •which we are about to describe, and,, which is manufactured by Mr. E. Enjalbert is very ingenious, very well conceived, and will, we believe, meet with great Buccess. In is a true pocket revolver with barrel, stock, and cock, out instead of serving to throw deadly leaden balls it is designed for taking very small photographic negatives four centimetres square. Upon pulling the trigger the sensitised plates succeed one another, and the operator can thua suddenly take ten successive photographs without touching his weapon. These small photographs may be afterward enlarged, and serve as useful documents for tourists, amateurs, and artists. With this little* revolver there is no longer any focussing to be done, no more plates to be changed, and, instantaneous views are obtained by an exposure of one-fiftieth of a second. The apparatus is always hermetically closed to the light, and it permits of following objects in motion with great facility, and without its being necessary to take accurate aim as with an ordinary revolver, since it is merely a question of taking such a general view as is comprised within the field of the objective. — Sciantifio American.
