Title: Engineer's drawing of Skylab 4 Far Ultraviolet Electronographic camera
Description:
An engineer's drawing of the Skylab 4 Far Ultraviolet Electronographic
camera (Experiment S201). Arrows point to various features and components
of the  camera. As the Comet Kohoutek streams through space at speeds of
100,000  miles per hour, the Skylab 4 crewmen will use the S201 UV camera
to  photograph features of the comet not visible from the earth's surface.
While  the comet is some distance from the Sun, the camera will be pointed
through  the scientific airlock in the wall of the Skylab space station
Orbital  Workshop (OWS). By using a movable mirror system built for the
Ultraviolet  Stellar Astronomy (S019) Experiment and rotating the space
station, the S201  camera will be able to photograph the comet around the
side of the space  station.
