Stereo camera
First Claim
1. A stereo camera comprising two spaced-apart camera units each including a lens, each lens being movable along a respective substantially straight line locus to achieve simultaneous convergence and focussing of the camera units, wherein each lens is mounted on a respective support means fixed rigidly to resilient plate means oriented so that bending of the plate means constrains the lens to follow the said locus, and means are provided for urging the resilient plate means to bend.

Abstract
A stereoscopic camera with two lenses, in which each lens is supported by a support table fixed rigidly to two parallel resilient plates. Simultaneous focussing and convergence of the lenses is brought about by a cam urging the plates to bend, thereby constraining both lenses to follow the required straight line loci.
