I am looking for a source for the Polaroid Ultra Sonic Ranging Sensor. I have an old address for Polaroid: Polaroid Corporation, Ultrasonic Ranging Marketing , 1 Upland Road, Norwood, MA 02062. Does anyone know if this is still current? Polaroid use to offer a designer's kit, is it still available? A source for a low cost version, ie. a used Polaroid Camera, used or surplus would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ron Kube

On page 71 of the November 1990 issue of NASA Tech Briefs, there is an ad for Polaroid's Ultrasonic Ranging System. They offer the Designer's Kit for $165. The address given in the ad is: Polaroid Corporation Ultrasonic Components Group 119 Windsor Street Cambridge, MA 02139 The ad says that if you have questions you should call Polaroid's Applications Engineers at (617) 577-4681. You should really get a copy of the ad. They mention three different types of ultrasonic transducers that you might be interested in. -- Jim Rothrock | Disclaimer: My opinions do *not* represent the opinions jim@psitech.com | of PsiTech, Inc. -- Jim Rothrock | Disclaimer: My opinions do *not* represent the opinions jim@psitech.com | of PsiTech, Inc.
