…one builds a rather large circular film holder,
5" by approximately 32 feet in diameter.
mount a lens/camera on a set of motorized
wheels, and have this "camera/lens" follow
the circumference of your home-made
film-holder track.

then, of course, we must consider the developing
printing and display of this mega-panoramic
camera.

oops, sorry, tasted too much beer today...
