Robert G. S. Sewell, Lawrence N. Cosner, Henry W. Wedaa, Rolland Gallup

This report describes a method of taking successive photographs of high-speed transient events by means of an argon-explosive system. The system comprises an explosive-train assembly, a Fresnel lens, and a number of cameras. The photographic results of a series of plate-perforation tests using 20-mm rounds are presented.
