Stroboscopic-Light High-Speed Motion Pictures

H. E. Edgerton, K. J. Germeshausen

A discussion of various methods of producing motion pictures at speeds higher than at present attainable with intermittent mechanisms; followed by a description of a high-speed motion picture camera (1200 frames a second, on 35-mm. film) using intermittent light from mercury-arc stroboscope lamps developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Several examples of the use of the lamp are given.
