I wonder if manufacturing variations caused some lenses to be short- or long-sighted? And if so, is there a "Monocle of Providence" available for myopic Tele-Copters?

And if so, is there a “Monocle of Providence” available for myopic Tele-Copters?

Maybe one around the back too. It looks to me like there is sufficient ground clearance for a lens at the bottom.

That would be spooky - imagine that massive eye turning to follow you. Is the Eye perhaps suspendend in fluid, and the vessel is glass?

Unless, of course, the sketch simply isn't very accurate - perhaps the lens had a degree of moveability. I think you have spotted the great weakness with the machine.
