Fantastic!
The comment you're replying to sent me looking for references, too. The closest I found was this article, which mentions an installation at RAF Truleigh Hill: https://www.shorehambysea.com/raf-truleigh-hill/ https://www.shorehambysea.com/raf-truleigh-hill/
"This device was a continuous photographic process which filmed the radar screen, processed the film and projected the image onto a glass screen within a very few seconds."
(I wonder whether something like the Eidophor system that NASA used for mission control would have been another option? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidophor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidophor)
- masswerk 3y agoRegarding the Eidophor and possible similar technology in WWII, it may have been that there was still something missing to make rapidly spinning mirrors (like in laser printers, etc.) a viable option. That article on RAF Truleigh Hill is a great link, BTW!
