Cameras have been able to capture split-second mom

Cameras have been able to capture split-second moments for more than 100 years! But back in the day, developing a photograph took hours. 📸 And how did these classic photographers make sure their equipment was working correctly so they were ready to capture a subject at a moment’s notice? This film from miSci’s archive shows a simple test for a synchronizer, an electrical circuit designed to trigger a flashbulb at the exact time the camera’s shutter opened. The rotating drum in the film would show the photographer if the light from the bulb and light through the shutter were hitting the film at the same time. Say cheese! 😬

This piece of technology history is a No. 1 Kodak

This piece of technology history is a No. 1 Kodak Autographic Special and it’s currently on display in miSci’s new exhibit “Seeing Ourselves: From Silhouette to Selfie”. Produced in the 1920s, this compact and foldable camera used a roll of flexible film to capture images. The shutter speed and size of the aperture are controlled by movable posts on the top and bottom of the lens ring. A truly stylish and fun piece from the past!

What would a fancy dinner party be without an ampl

What would a fancy dinner party be without an ample supply of hot coffee? This classic ad, produced in 1963 and preserved in miSci’s archive, features several vintage electric appliances and a coffee pot that wouldn’t look out of place at a modern function. The 20th century was revolutionary for appliances, as electricity was harnessed to provide more and more functionality in the everyday kitchen.
