title: Remote control skull positioning device for superimposition studies.
abstract: The success of the superimposition technique requires positioning the skull in the same posture of the face as seen in the given photograph. A scientific method for positioning the skull has already been proposed by Sekharan. This paper deals with the simple remote control tilt and rotatory device developed in the Forensic Sciences Department, Madras. A pan and tilt arrangement usually utilized in surveillance cameras and two a.c. servomotors, one to tilt the pan and the other to rotate the pan are used.
