I happen to be familiar with government photographic surveillance of our enemy outposts (embassies/consulates) in Latin America. I was told by a family member that the photographic surveillance in the early 60s was done manually, in other words, operators had to take shifts clicking and winding the cameras around the clock. But later, in mid-sixties, an intervalometer mechanism was adapted that allowed the cameras to trigger automatically (I assume at a prescribed interval) and a human agent was only required to interact with the camera to reload film. Does anyone know when the first intervalometers were made? What cameras might have been used? Does this story have any truth to it?
Thanks to anyone that can shed light on this.
