Robbery at the waterfront— detected and observed in total darkness through the amazing infrared ray 4 snooperscope. 
"Snooperscope"-seas at night 
with invisible light! 
Crime detection is one of the many uses 
for this uncanny telescope that can dis¬ 
tinguish objects more than several hun¬ 
dred yards away in a complete blackout. 
The sniperscope and snooperscope are 
two wartime developments of RCA Lab¬ 
oratories in co-operation with the U. S. 
Army which are now being converted to 
civilian, industrial and police uses. 
These instruments were made possible 
through a tiny image tube less than two 
inches in diameter and less than five 
inches long. Adapted to various military 
equipment, these telescopes provided the 
Army with some of its best night-fighting 
devices. A helmet-mounted binocular em¬ 
ploying these image tubes enabled scout 
cars to speed over roads at 40 to 50 miles 
an hour without lights. 
The same engineering skill that pro¬ 
duced the snooperscope is reflected in 
every RCA and RCA Victor product— 
whether it is a Victrola* radio-phono¬ 
graph, made exclusively by RCA Victor, 
or a television receiver, or a radio tube. 
If it’s an RCA, it is one of the finest in¬ 
struments of its kind science has achieved.

The “Sniperscope.” Here our infrared 
telescope is mounted on a carbine. 
The combination was aptly called a 
“sniperscope” for it enabled a soldier 
in total darkness to hit a target the size 
of a man at 75 yards. Thirty per cent 
of the Japanese casualties during the 
first three weeks of the Okinawa cam¬ 
paign were attributed by the Army to 
this amazing sniperscope
