Mr. Wm. F. Engelmann acquired practical training as an optical instrument maker and pur-
sued the study of engineering in Berlin. He searched for a method that would quickly record and
reproduce surfaces that were difficult to measure and duplicate, for example: streamlined surfaces
on automobiles and aircraft, or odd shaped anatomical surfaces. He then had the idea of utilizing
photography for this purpose. His engineering training, and practical experience in optical instru-
ment making, and interest in photography gave him a sound background to devise the method
and design the equipment described in his paper. Mr. Engelmann is now designing and making the
necessary equipment for a more automatic process as described in U. S. Patent Number 1,594,607.
