Players Appearing Twice in a Panoramic Photo - Tell Me about the Camera

My dad told me that when he was a kid (1940s), if snuck around the other side you could get in the class photo twice.

As mentioned, in the real old panoramas, they would actually be side by side photos. In mid 1800s photos you can clearly see the three side by side panels.

There were also special panoramic cameras. Some used what must have been interesting lenses, some rotated on a stand, and others used a pivoting lens.

I'd imagine if the photographer was using the pivoting lens type it would be pretty easy to run around to the opposite side.

Ty Cobb made the mad dash from one side to the other in the 1914 Tiger panoramic

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Great link Steve. Once again, Net54 nailed the answer to an obscure question.
