Notification about PE Heights newspapers
For the postings of the PE Heights newspaper, I realize that the writing is small and not too dark and hard to read. I cannot make them darker. If you can forward them to your I pads you should be able to expand them on your screen and make them more readable.
Imagery
I recently received dozens of photos (imagery) taken by Hexagon during its lifetime from 1971 to 1986. I will post some of these individually on a periodic basis. They are of medium resolution (size of objects on the ground) because obtaining high resolution photos (two to three feet) is not accessible at the present time. This is a photo of Paris.
Old Perkin-Elmer Heights Newspapers
In going through my files I found a bunch of old Perkin-Elmer Heights newspapers. I had them scanned and am going to put them on my blog periodically in chronological order. They will certainly bring back memories of people and events. Send me comments on any of these or send me stories or photos or if you have saved any old PE Heights newspapers.
What do bees, soccer balls and a roller have in common
I could not resist this comparison and sharing it. Here are three images that are related to Hexagon.
A bees nest
Soccer ball
This is one of the many dozens of beryllium rollers used in the Hexagon film path. They were 7.1 inches long and the film was 6.6 inches wide. Small roller bearings were attached at each end of the roller. The rollers were hollow and extremely light.
