LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION
In the 1950s the legendary George Moore went to significant expense to keep a step ahead of his rivals.

It was a straight out lateral coverage, with no head on shots or fancy 'cutaways', but it was of enormous benefit to Moore in selecting his rides and keeping up with the form.
