This is why I joined this sub.
Id love to know the .CD of this thing. They had the right idea, kinda.
Pretty impressive for 1922. Especially on that first photo I looks like it could easily have been introduced 30 years later.
Except rain drops are spherical…
Mr. Persu must have been from Copiapó, because I’m pretty sure he’s never seen rain.
