Paul E. Garber was issued a patent for the "Target Kite" on November 6, 1945. By visiting the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website (click on icon to visit) and performing a Patent Number Search for Patent No. 2,388,478 I was able to obtain the images of the original application.

The Patent Office provides these as TIFF images, which require a special viewer. Their site provides further details on viewing Patent Full-Page Images.


I have placed copies of the TIFF format images here for your convenience:

TIFF#1   TIFF#2   TIFF#3   TIFF#4   TIFF#5   TIFF#6   TIFF#7

In order to permit viewing without a special plug-in, use these full-size GIF images:

GIF#1   GIF#2   GIF#3   GIF#4   GIF#5   GIF#6   GIF#7

Be sure to download the GIF and print using some application other than the web browser for best results.

Reduced "screen-size" (800 x 1175) images are here:
