Camera on Gun to Trap Crooks, 1934

This post was originally published on this site

In 1934, photographic identification of fleeing criminals could be obtained with a perfected camera which was attached to a pistol or rifle and worked by the gun’s trigger. The lens used can work at an opening of F/3.5, which permits the camera to be used in comparatively poor light and at high speed. The small negatives are sharp enough to be enlarged.
