Tom Swift's New Camera, Ready for Space and Spies
By JULIE SALAMON
s an adolescent, Clifford Ross was an apathetic science student but obsessed by Tom Swift. Now
52, Mr. Ross has become a character appropriate to a boys' adventure novel. An artist and
businessman, he recently became an inventor - of a camera unusual enough to capture the attention of
serious scientists, including the kinds who work for the government, experimenting with nuclear fusion,
space travel and spy systems. What grabbed them were photographs Mr. Ross took that allowed them to
see with astonishing clarity a tiny footpath on the top of a Colorado mountain seven miles from the
camera.
