One of these is a simple and cheap apparatusfor making panoramic views. Of course, we all know of the Johnson pano-ramic or pantascopic camera, which moves the objective laterally over the plateduring exposure, but it is intricate and expensive. 95. Exposing shutters are offered in great abundance now, so compact, soingenious, and so complete as to enable the operator to regulate the exposurequickly, at will, to suit the light and subject of the occasion.

The opening is madeby an increasing and decreasing
