[Leica] Bat Bending Strength: The Ted Gran Effect?

[Jim Nichols]

Ha!  No electronics involved in that one.  I was thinking of those 
images as well.  The Leica handbooks of the 1950s, which I have 
somewhere, use a similar image to demonstrate what can happen as the 
horizontally-traveling slit passes across the film opening, recording a 
moving wheel-type image.  All purely mechanical.
