In 1947 he became a director and participated in the development of publishing company&nbsp;<strong>Pan Books<\/strong>. With the support of the board of&nbsp;<strong>Pan Books&nbsp;<\/strong>he developed a means of exploiting a new printing technique, combining text with images. This took him into&nbsp;the use of the photographic process in printing. He later formed a company, of which he was the sole owner, to conceive and develop a camera to produce precision three-dimensional photographic images, identical to those recorded by the human eye. The camera, which has itself not been overtaken by modern technology, produced colour positive images.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/s-l1600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/s-l1600.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/s-l1600-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/s-l1600-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Regarding the above I was as pleased to get the packaging as the viewer when I saw the stamps.
