I have one of these in front of me. - A vectograph of a fly. The only 
problem is that it is not mine 8*(.

It is part of the Stereo Tests produced by Stereo Optical Co in 1988.
The information on the reverse suggests that they market vectograms of
FLY, REINDEER, BUTTERFLY, CLOWN and others which sound less 
interesting.

Full address and telephone no. list(1988):

Stereo Optical Company
3539 N. Kenton Ave.
Chicago, Il 60641
1-800-344-9500

Fax 312-777-4985

Perhaps someone local ;) could see them about a bulk purchase? ;) Go 
for it.

As I say, I can see one now, but I can't take it home!




ALSO- Two years ago, I met John J McCann, who was a colleague of Land 
(the inventor of the vectorgram), and currently Senior Lab Manager in 
Polaroids Vision Research Lab (Cambridge, MA). 

I told him about photo-3d, and I wouldnt be surprised wouldnt be 
surprised if he lurked for a while. 

If anyone wants to pursue the vectograph issue he might be a good 
starting point. 

I won't post his address/email to the list in case he suddenly gets 
700 requests!

Email me if you need the information.
