Royal NZ Air Force camera timer?
Hi all
I posted this query on the History and Nostalgia forum without success.
I'd appreciate any information that you might have about how mechanical timers were used in reconnaisance, if indeed this was how they were used. The deivce consists of a clock with the means to close electrical contacts at a specified time. Here is an example that was on a certain auction site recently:
IWC Royal New Zealand Airforce clock
I have an interest in watches etc and would be very grateful if any of you that know how these were used could briefly explain when/ why it was used. There are various theories among watch and clock fans relating to bomb timers and reconnaisance, it would be nice to hear it from the horse's mouth!
Regards
