The Kodak Salesman . in noother way, exposures being made ona motion picture film instead offiring actual bullets. When the United States enteredthe war, experts from the EastmanKodak Company were called intoconsultation with the Militaryand Xaval Authorities at Washing-ton and Langley Field, and with theassistance of our own, British andAllied trained photographic were laid for the constructionof new aerial cameras embody-ing all the latest requirements inlarge quantities commensurate withthe enormous aeroplane construc-tion program promulgated at thetime by the L^.S. Litensive experi-ments and field trials to determinethe exact types of material bestadapted for the purpose were im-mediately in order. A large partof the Kodak technical staff, and agood part of the manufacturingspace of several of its plants was atonce devoted to the development ofthe new war equipment. In spiteof the obstacles caused by shortagesin materials and the many newproblems encountered, great sue- ^ KODAK SALESMAN. cess was speedily realized in thedesign and construction of service-able Aero Cameras for the variouspurposes desired. Realizing the critical nature ofthe situation the lens designers ofthe Kodak Company were at workearly on the design of Aerial Lensesfor high-speed operation, whilerepresentatives in Europe lookedinto the glass situation. Excellentco-operation was obtained from theGeophysical Laboratory at Wash-ington, and from several prominentAmerican manufacturers of glass,and as a result within the shortperiod of twelve months, a newindustry for making optical glass inquantities to satisfy the enormousmilitary demands was , in the development andperfection of the Hawkeye AerialLens, the engineers of the HawkeyeWorks of the Eastman Kodak Com-pany attained one of the big tri-umphs of the war. In the design of the HawkeyeAerial Lens, small covering powerbut highest definition and speedwere required. The first HawkeyeAerial Lens was of 10-inch foca
