Model 661. The photo is taken on May 30th,
1969 at the distribution plant near Beckomberga, in Stockholm, Sweden. The camera
weighed approx. 25 kg (55 lb), the oscilloscope 20 kg (44 lb), the tripod 15 kg (33
lb). The operator also needed a 220 VAC generator set, and a 10 L (2.6 US gallon) jar
with liquid nitrogen. To the left of the oscilloscope the Polaroid attachment (6 kg/13
lb) can be seen. RIGHT: FLIR Systems’ ThermaCAM Model E2 from 2002 – weight:
0.7 kg (1.54 lb), including battery. ................................................................................................
