Panoramic Photographs.
A-km Tad
A new French apparatus, called the cylindrograph, is designed to photograph at a single operation a wide sweep of the adjacent country. The instrument consists of a camera of semi-circular form, with a small lens in the center, which moves on an axis. The dark slides are of some material which will bend, and when a view is to be taken the lens is turned upon the center from one side of the landscape to the other. The panoramic pictures thus procured are sufficiently good to serve surveying, military and other purposes.
