Popular Mechanics Magazine 1928


"Five Photos in One Exposure
On the Atlantic City boardwalk a photographer makes use of a clever device for simultaneously producing five different views of the same subject on the same photo with only one exposure. The method is simple: Two large mirrors are placed together like the covers of a half-open book, with their reflecting surfaces facing each other. The angle formed by the mirrors is about 40°. A small triangular table is fitted into the space between the mirrors, and the subject to be photographed sits at the table facing the mirrors, which produces four reflections at a point a few feet behind the subject.
