Alpine Man Invents Kite Camera For Aerial Photos
Alpine resident Parks, originator of a kite driven camera system, demonstrated an autonomous one man operation capable of lifting a 1 4 by 4 1 4 inch camera via a 9 foot kite. The device uses a tripping rod to trigger exposure and reel the camera back as it descends. Parks, formerly in New York on stunt ads, demonstrated to military authorities in Camp Cody during WWI and now markets the invention in New Mexico and beyond.
