Masks to Pack Circles Densely

E. N. Gilbert

Some schemes for taking fast motion pictures photograph each frame as a pattern of circular dots. The dots are several diameters apart so that similar patterns from many frames fit together without overlapping. To crowd as many frames as possible onto the film each dot must touch six dots from other frames. This puts certain geometrical restrictions on the dot pattern for a single frame.
