Gun Camera-Mark I

GENERAL:

Gun

Camera

Mark

I.

has

been developed for

the

purpose of

i~creasing

the

efficiency of aerial

gunnery

By

its use a graphic record of

the

manner

in which

the

student-aviator

handles his machine

gun

in offensive

and

defensive

combat

is

obtained,

his faults discovered

and

corrections made possible.

This

apparatus

is

mounted in place of

the

maga-

zine on a Lewis aerial gun equipped with

post

fore

sight

and

ring

rear

sig

hts

and

is

operated

by

simply

sighting

the

gun

and

pressing

the

trigger

The

cam-

era

uses

standard

moving picture film,

takes

the

pictures automatically as long as

the

trigger

is

depressed

at

the

rate

of six

per

second, with-

an

ex-

posure of

0\-second,

and

its magazine holds sufficient

film for 97 exposures, this

number

being

the

same

as

that

of

the

cartridges in

the

Lewis four

tier

maga-

zine.

Each

exposure

thus

represents a single

shot

of a Lewis

gun

and

the

films are marked according

to

bur

st

s.

The

magazines are changed in exactly

the

same

manner

that

the

drum

magazines of

the

ordinary

gun

are replaced,

and

each

gun

camera

outfit

is

supplied with a

total

of

three

film maga-

zmes.
