Old, Weird Tech: Dr. Neubronner’s Patented Miniature Pigeon Camera
(via The Atlantic Tech channel)
“The mechanisms were simple. A camera with a pneumatic timing mechanism was attached to a bird with a cute little harness. Then, the bird was released, and every so often, the timer would go off, and a puff of compressed air would trigger the exposure.”
Too wonderful.
Seriously awesome. I now want a pigeon with a tiny camera in a harness.
