WREROC Mk II Missile Camera
The Weapons Research Establishment Roll Orientation Camera was designed in 1957 to allow scientists to document the extent of missile roll during flight.
The camera carries a 186º ultra-wide angle lens (designed by RA Dixon), but the lens has been restricted to a 2mm wide slit. The film was moved at a set speed and thus generated a continual negative that always showed the horizon in the image. The negative also included registration marks and timing signals. This allowed Australian and British weapons engineers to accurately assess the onset as well as extent of missile roll during the flight.

I am reading a book about Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbs fame. It's OK.
This kind of looks like Calvin genes mixed with Jason's.
Cheers.
