About 1-2 years ago, I tried to find him (WW). After 2-3 forwarding addresses, I got word he was around but uninvolved, i.e. no more WW, Inc. Sorry.

I've copied this to my web page: http://homepages.tesco.net/~trowbridge/cyclopsf.htm Unfortunately it is in French (!) but I will post a translation asap. There is some background on Wallace Warner, and a photo of him in Chicago, as well as details and photos of the camera. Regards IanT
