My photos have been down-sampled. Full size,
print quality, jpg files are available from
Frank.
The stereo-pairs below are scaled for a display setting of 1024x768, such that
they have the standard 3½x7 inch (≈9x18 cm) size on the screen. For proper
viewing with different display settings, you may have to download the image
files and use an appropriate zoom setting in your favorite image viewing
program.
The stereo-pairs below have not been made with my Stereo Realist stereoscopic camera, but by sequentially taking two pictures with my digital snapshot camera (laterally displaced ≈ 6.3 cm (2½") between the left & right shot). I have also taken 3D pictures with the Stereo Realist, but they still need to be processed by a special lab. If you are not a practitioner of "free viewing" of stereo pairs, you will need a viewer. I have converted the stereo-pair photos into red/green anaglyphic 3D images, with StereoMaker (freeware). You'll need red/green glasses to view them (the close-up of the printer mechanism really came out great, even if I say so myself). A number of red/green anaglyphic photos of my Hellschreiber T typ.- 72c "GL" are here. I have made hundreds of stereoscopic photos over the years; a small selection is on my stereoscopic / 3D page.

I am not aware of the existence of any other 3D photos (historical or new, like mine) of Hellschreibers. If you know of any, please let me know.

This is what's inside the gearbox of
the Feld-Hell machine. Pin-coupling to the motor-generator is at the top. Large
gear (top right) connects to the character drum.
To take these photos, I had to suspend
the shafts by marionette-strings (monofilament fishing line); see the jig below.
