No, it's from 1883. It holds 10 plates in one "chamber" and the user rotates the cylinder to rotate a plate into position. Then cocking the hammer "sets" the shutter, pulling the trigger takes the picture. Then the user rotates the cylinder which places the just-exposed plate into a second chamber of the cylinder.

Awesome. What's the brand name?

I'd be a little weary getting my picture taken that way.

That is the most awesome thread I've ever seen anywhere. The pictures really bring it to life.

All old people go out of their way to avoid making left turns. Don't believe me, just ask one.

Left turns suck. You have to cross traffic.

Also, left-turning dumbasses pull out of you ALL THE FUCKING TIME when you're on a motorcycle. That's how people t-bone each other.

Come down to Spfd and try the diverging diamond intersection at I-44 and Kansas Expy. It's crazy, but it's supposed to be safer/easier, because it elimates crossing traffic for left turns. They are putting another one in at James River Expy and National Ave.
