Data-Recording Xenon Flashlamp
This paper describes an electronic flashtube which is designed primarily for data-recording applications in modern military aircraft where it is desired to obtain photographic records of moving dials, etc. The FX-4 is explosionproof, waterproof and is able to withstand rigid shock and vibration requirements of modern aircraft. The lamp is completely encapsulated in an epoxy resin, permitting the tube to be operated at altitudes of 70,000 ft or submerged in water. It is resistant to extreme temperature variations, shock and vibrations. Typical examples of its applications are described.
