High-Speed Photography of Reflection-Lighted Objects in Transonic Wind Tunnel Testing

E. R. Hinz, C. A. Main, Elinor P. Muhl

There follows a discussion of the use of the Marley High-Speed Camera in special adaptation for study of objects within the test channel of a transonic wind tunnel. Included are a description of the original camera and an outline of some changes required to adapt it for the photographing of nonluminous objects. Also given are methods used to coordinate the camera exposure time with the position of the moving object “bullet” and external lighting apparatus to produce 58 pictures at a rate of 100,000/sec.
