Working at Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Ariz., Dr. Tombaugh used some fancy apparatus: a Schmidt telescopic camera so sensitive that it could photograph a tennis ball, half-lit by the sun, 1,000 miles away, or a V-2 rocket at the distance of the moon. It covered a 13° field, 26 times the apparent diameter of the full moon, and a complicated driving mechanism swung it across the sky, fast for nearby satellites, slower for satellites farther away.

Said Member Tracy Prater, onetime Army pigeoneer: "Every club has a 'smash' race once in a while, but that is nothing to explain...
