Abstract: A camera in the shape of an automobile includes a rear face that is substantially identical to a camera and a front shaped like an automobile body. The camera body includes a lens, a viewfinder, a film cannister compartment and a take-up spool compartment. One front wheel rotates relative to the automobile body and serves as a rewind member. In order to position the front wheel at the proper position on the automobile body, a gear mechanism is provided between the rewind wheel and the take-up spool shaft. The automobile body extends beyond the front of the camera body forming an opening in which a carry strap is mounted. The latch actuator for the rear cover is located on the bottom of the camera where it does not interfere with the automobile shape. A rear spoiler extends upward to serve as a finger grip and a push button located at the gas cap serves as a shutter actuator.

Abstract: A portion of a frame of film is pre-exposed to a first image by subjecting the film to a low intensity exposure while masking a portion of the film. The film is then used in a conventional camera along with a non-opaque exposure limiting device. The non-opaque exposure limiting device is positioned between the camera lens and the film. During exposure of the film to a second or target image, the first image is partially re-exposed thereby enhancing the stability of the picture while capturing the target image on the unexposed portion of the frame of film. The two images are then developed in a conventional manner to produce a relatively smoothly blended composite photograph.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for identifying the position of a body (21) in a scene (20) comprises a first station (11) incorporating a raster-scan imaging device (15) having a field of view (19) with azimuthal and elevational rotational freedom and variable magnification the settings of which are respectively sensed by sensors (24,25,26). A signal processor (16) collects the video signal from device (15) and the sensor signals and adds the latter to part of the raster scan which, in playback, does not obscure the video picture generated by the video signal. The processor (16) is connected by lead (28) to a second station (12) which incorporates a raster-scan playback device (32) associated with an operator-actuated electronic cursor generator (33).
