No, the peculiar looking device in the photo was not a camera, nor even a telescope, although partially resembling both. It was a new solar bath apparatus for the head and has made a great hit with the medical fraternity of Germany in 1933.
The main purpose of the device was to cure sicknesses of the head, like catarrh of the nose and throat or of the ears. It reposes on a stationary upright and has an opening in under side for a patient’s head. Affected person sits in a chair while taking treatments. An ultra-violet ray machine within throws artificial sunlight upon all parts of the head. Eventually, when fully tested and improved, it was expected to cure many of the illnesses of the head.
