Cool, this camera was installed on the Convair B-36 [0] which is one of my favourite examples of a "transitional platform". It was a bomber with 6 propeller and 4 jet engines. These days we'd call it a hybrid. It's a great example of a product that came out at a time when the new tech (jets) wasn't quite ready but still provided some advantages. But then you have the disadvantages of maintaining both the old and the new systems at the same time. Can you imagine being a mechanic working on this plane? The same as an SRE working in the cloud and a datacentre, or a developer using a modern framework and maintaining a legacy codebase.
