[78-L] Concert sized cylinder boxes

[Ron L'Herault]

I'll  bet that if the camera were stationary and you rotated a box in front
of it, the camera would "think" it is being rotated.

cover with that on the outside. Great idea for the cylinder record
collector eh?    Ron L


There might be some old undersized black and white scans in Allen
Koenigsburg's 1980s cylinder book, the maroon one with the white comb
binding.  Unless the box is destroyed and the label removed, it is difficult
to scan a round object.  There are several people who have made coffee mugs,
t-shirts, and hats with cylinder labels pictured on them, but I can't think
of any of them that show the large concert boxes.  

This does give me a thought.  My digital camera has a panarama feature but
it requires the camera be moved in an arc, not having the camera stationary
and the object moving.  It also only goes around 180 degrees, but the newer
models go a full 360 degrees.  That might be possible to make a swing-arm
that would revolve around a stationary cylinder box. 
Or mount the camera to the outer rim of a turntable and have the box
stationary while you turn the turntable by hand..
