1965 - 70 Robot Recorder 24 is a motor-ready technical /
scientific camera for stationary use. Typically used as traffic cameras
(radar traps!) in Europe. Produced 50 speeding tickets per
roll (24 X 24mm images). Optional bulk film magazines were
available. Spring motor in base, similar to the Robot Royal 24, except
no viewfinder or rangefinder, nor continuous / single exposure option
(blanked plate to left of lens.). This original (a) version comes
with a Schneider - Kreuznach f3.8 / 75mm Tele-Xenar lens for close-ups
of your license plate. I seem to remember that in Switzerland the
Police stopped sending the actual photos to the speeders homes (along
with the
ticket) because of complaints that the photos were too detailed; too
many instances of indelicacies being exposed, as it were. (So, who was
that person in the passenger seat last Saturday afternoon at 14:43 on
Rue de Lausanne, dear? I thought you had to work last
weekend....... Bummer).
