Trip to the library

I just went to the Seattle Public Library and found some great 3D books:
Two Points of View: The history of the Parlor Stereoscope by Harold Jenkins.
Copyright 1957
    I found a great quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes.  "On the very threshold 
    of the Civil War, Holmes envisioned: 'The next European war will send us
    stereographs of battles.  It is asserted that the bursting shell can be 
    photographed.  The time is perhaps at hand when a flash of light, as 
    sudden and brief as that of lightning which shows a whirling wheel 
    standing stock still, shall preserve the very instant of the shock of 
    contact of mighty armies.'"

Stereo Views: A History of Stereographs in America and Their Collection by
William Culp Darrah  Copyright 1964
    How does this compare to the Stereo Views by John Waldsmith in Reel 3D?
    I thinks I'm going to have to get the one from Reel 3D because this one
is great!

Principle of Stereoscopy by Herbert C. McKay F.R.P.S  Copyright 1948
    The figure it has of the Stereo Realist shows  f/3.5 lenses and a top
shutter 
    of 1/200 and says of it "This is a domestic camera whose quality places
it in 
    the de luxe class of stereo cameras".  There is a great picture of the
Keystone
    Telebinocular.  Man, that is a hurkin big viewer!

I have a question that I'll put in the next posting.

Thank you if you've read this far.
