A Camera Mount Utilizing Programed Mirror Rotation for Missile Tracking

L. E. Davidson

The usual photographic instrumentation for tests of low-flying missiles is inherently limited by usable fields of coverage or in capacity for tracking at high angular velocities. A camera mount has been developed which avoids limitations by using a rotating mirror to deviate the line of sight. The mirror motion is produced by a rotating cam which may be shaped to conform to various trajectory conditions.
