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.
