Twenty UNIQUE Mounted Stereo Slides GREAT LAKES DRAGAWAY UNION GROVE, WISCONSIN W the great ones rock........... May 1961 Some of the stereo slides are fully marked as to equipment,etc. however most lack any information. Typical detail includes: " The cockpit of the Green Monster dragster" and "The Big Wheel dragster" and "The Bad Omen dragster" and "Typical fuel tank, supercharger, and engine for a dragster." One the reverse the date is stamped and t is technical including film speed, shutter speed, and f-stop. These are some of Richard Hartweg's earliest stereo slides. These slides are shot on 35mm film however they are stereo slides ...that is, two slightly different views of the same event (see photo number two). When viewed through a stereo projector they look 3D. They can also be scanned--as I did for this listing--or mounted individually. That would give you an extra slide for a dragster friend! The pictures are about 7/8" square and they are mounted in cardboard holders about 4" wide x 1 1/2" tall.The stereo slides were shot with a 1950's vintage, manual REALIST stereo camera. Though state-of-the-art at the time, pictures may be over or under exposed, etc. Colors are generally subdued. These are original slides...t are no copies. This is the only set of these slides in existence. Full rights to these images passes to you read more
