Abstract
THE problem of the spring-driven camera has engaged the attention of inventors for many years. About fourteen years ago, when the Aeroscope-the compressed air-driven camera of Proszinski-was being marketed, I saw the first example of such an apparatus. It was made for Mr. Cherry Kearton who required it for his natural history work. The model in question was not a success, although some pictures were produced by it. The great outstanding difficulty was the speed regulation and the pictures produced by it were therefore defective. What length of film it would run with one winding, I do not know; I merely mention it as being the first spring-driven camera of which I have any knowledge.
