K-10 AERO CAMERA

USE: For Vertical and Oblique Aerial Photographs and Ground Photography.

CONSTRUCTION: Sturdily constructed--aluminum body, stream lined to break wind resistance.

Attractively finished in black crackled enamel and nickel.

Specifically designed grips are scientifically placed to permit holding camera steady and to give proper balance when camera is used for aerial oblique or ground shots. Grips are easily detached in order to place camera in suspension mount for vertical shots or mapping.

Weight:  Approximately 22 pounds when loaded with twenty-five exposure roll film.

Measurements: Length 12 1/4", Width 10", Height 13-3/8" 

SHUTTER: Focal plane type with high speed curtain operating in close proximity to the film, resulting in very high shutter efficiency.

SHUTTER SPEEDS: 1/50th part of a second minimum to 1/200th of a second maximum

OPERATION: Two simple motions make the picture.
--- A half turn of crank 
--- a slight pressure on release.

A single half turn of winding crank automatically sets the shutter and moves film into position f or next exposure.

A visible tally on outside of camera records number of exposures made on film.

A shutter release level is placed convenient to right hand grip and allows operation without changing grip. 

Entire back of camera easily removable to allow insertion or removal of roll film. Roll films are held in place by two knurled spool centers unscrewed from outside of camera

FINDER: Direct vision box type. Out of the way when not in use. Snap button release brings finder into place. Rigidly held against wind pressure yet bends forward when in contact with clothes of operator. 

SPIRIT LEVEL: An efficient spirit level of the  "T" type is mounted on back of camera for use as guide in properly leveling camera. 

LENS: Anastigmat type.
Focal length of 10", f4.5 with Iris Diaphragm mounted in a specially designed focusing mount to permit using camera for ground as well as for aerial work. 

Distances of 8', 10', 12', 15', 25', 50', 100', and Infinity are graduated on front of mount to assist in accurate focusing. 

Snap button holds lens rigidly at Infinity.
