A SIMPLE atlachmt'iii for llie camera in the position shown 

 which enables the photographer to the second picture the 

 secure a number of exposures upon and reversed, as in 

 the same plate or 

 lilm has been in- 

 vented by Charlie 

 K. Pugh, of Colo- 

 rado City, Colorado. 

 Two, three, or four 

 pictures may be 

 taken upon different 

 portions of the plate 

 or film without an>- 

 line of demarcation 

 showing. Four ex- 

 posures were made 

 to obtain the photo- 

 graph in the accom- 

 panying illustra- 

 tion. 



The attachment is 

 a plate of thin metal 

 with the side edges 

 l)ent inwardly to 

 form flanges to fasten 

 over the camera-lens, 

 as shown in Fig. 8. 

 Affixed to the front 

 of the plate is a 

 rectangular box 

 and tongue, 

 ha\iiigsidewalls 

 closed at one end 

 and oix'iied at 

 the (jlher. 



When it is de- 

 sired to take two 

 laterally exposed 

 \ iews the device is 

 adjusted over the 

 camera-lens as 

 shown in I'igs. i 

 and 4. In olhi-r 

 WDrds, it is so ad- 

 justed as to leave 

 an opening for 



about one half or one third of the diaphragm, 

 light-shield, acting on the i)rinciple of a slide in 

 a plati-holder, cuts olT the rays of light which 

 would nilu-rwise alTi-cl the oilier half or remainder 

 of !lie plate. 



When two pictures are to be taken on the same 

 |)late, one vertically abo\e the other, the device is

 jiictures are taken 

 the device is ar- 

 ranged so as to take 

 the two lateral views 

 first, each \iew oc- 

 cupying one third of 

 the plate. The two 

 middle views are 

 then taken by re- 

 adjusting the device. 

 This gives four 

 jiictures on the same 

 plate, one on the 

 left hand, one on 

 the right, and two in 

 the middle, one 

 abo\e the other. 



The tongue in the 

 rectangular box, 

 shown in I'igs. 5, <) 

 and 10, is important, 

 since it cuts olT any 

 uiulesired slanting 

 rays. 



This is illustrated 

 in Fig. 10. The 

 light coming in the 

 direction of the 

 middle line is de- 

 sired; the light 

 rays above or be- 

 low it are cut ofT 

 b\- the tongue.
