Retrospective
On a device of relief recording...

In France one knows me generally under the name of OP 3000, notably in a film of 1947, when one can see me in state of functioning.

But not so simple to have a stable identity! On invoices intended for the U.S.A. one finds me under the name of " STUDIO 3000 ".

After all in the United States, my name feminizes and one usually nicknames me " Hat Will Be on drugs ".

I am a device specially conceived to work in studio and realize portraits, one or several persons in foot or sat(based), all these photos restore the relief and even the movement thanks to lenticulaires networks with which is equipped the device at the time of the recording.

In the 1950s, I was delivered " in kit " with an outline and the list of spare parts.

The photographic results so obtained are shots of Three-dimensional photography, or " PER ".

I am in massive mahogany, one can move me thanks to my roulettes and I weigh 320 kg. Besides initially I am motorized, and my darkroom moves on a rail duralumin during the time of pose(installation) of the recording which lasts about 2 seconds. I have the possibility of being equipped with several frames of tailel different to realize photos of various dimensions, going from the size(format) picture postcard in the size(format) 40 x 60. Frames take place on my door - frame which moves, that is that it revolves during the time of pose(installation).
