Abstract
A servo-type of mechanism has been devised which automatically will maintain a lens in focus under the guidance of any one of a number of distance-measuring devices, or which may be arranged to replace the Selsyn-type of remote control for focusing a lens. The mechanism requires no special cam or nonlinear element to fit a particular lens, but automatically solves the equation of any lens for which it may be adjusted at the moment. When replacing a Selsyn system this servomechanism has the advantage that it can never get out of step. The system is particularly applicable to motion picture camera lenses in follow-focus work.
