Role of the Mitchell Filming the Atomic Bomb
Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2014 9:53 am
Hello members. As we all know, the Mitchell Camera was used extensively in all realms of scientific research. When film documentation of atomic bomb tests were needed, the obvious choice was the Mitchell Camera.
The Army Signal Corps was the division tasked with photographing the events. The photos below are from the Signal Corps Photographic Center web site and belonged to Ernest C. Baumert who was chief of Maintenance and Engineering at the APC.
If we have member who were involved with the Signal Corps and using the Mitchell Camera, we would be honored to see some of your thoughts and comments in this thread. Enlarge any photo by clicking on it.
