morrisc8 Posted 4 November , 2019 Author Share Posted 4 November , 2019 Hi Dennis, the only viewer i have are the ones in the photos but google stereo viewer and see what comes up. I think they made a viewer to show them to the public. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether anybody has invented some sort of scanner that can output via a 3D TV, I don't know, but doubt very much, seeing that broadcasters gave up on 3DTV a few years back, maybe after the 2010 World Cup.

Hi For projecting 3D other technology was used, Lord Brabazon in 'The Brabazon Story' reference WW1 aerial photography (p.104) mentions: "We took stereo pictures of trenches up to 12,000 feet and got superb relief by the enhanced base line. These were shown to the Staff by the usual viewing apparatus, but we also projected them to show relief, on the well known principle of projecting one photograph through red and the other through green and viewing them through red and green spectacles. By this means the eye can see only the one picture it is meant to see, and so a stereoscopic effect is obtained. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested Posted 26 February , 2021 Share Posted 26 February , 2021 I have a Camerascope viewer from the 1930's so I printed off some of your images - difficult to get the scale right as I needed the two images to be closer together, but once I got it right they were very good 3-dimensional images. The cinema now use polarised light and the audience wear darkened glasses, one eye is horizontal polarisation, the other vertical. This works OK, we saw "Gravity" a few years ago.

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 19 March , 2021 Share Posted 19 March , 2021 (edited) Yes I think it's a 9.2" howitzer plinth. One gun required 3 trailers full of the gun parts. Edit: No it isn't. Edited 19 March , 2021 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GROBBY Posted 20 March , 2021 Share Posted 20 March , 2021 The one I used to use was a lot smaller than that but was still mule packable and a 105 Howitzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 20 March , 2021 Share Posted 20 March , 2021 (edited) The wheels on the 9.2" howitzer carriages were the old fashioned style cartwheel type, I don't know if they were made of wood, or of steel. The spokes would be round(ish) in section. Courtesy IWM Q 3062 In addition, the top of the carriage in the original image , just above the swivel point for the barrel, is flat. On the 9.2", it is curved. The wheels on the carriage in question are the steel type with steel tread bars and a double layer of flat steel bar spokes. This is the type of wheel found on guns like the 8" Howitzer, but the carriage doesn't match. Image courtesy of IWM Q 568 It must be from a big British artillery piece, but it doesn't match the 9.2" or the 8".

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 21 March , 2021 Share Posted 21 March , 2021 Yes. I can't see what else it could be. I'll go with my original thought. Marvellous images by the way, you've done a really good job in scanning all these negatives. The one with the German POWs is wonderful, men frozen in time. You can almost read the writing on the sign behind them. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
