Slide Rule for Analyzing High-Speed Motion Picture Data

Karl W. Maier

In mechanics research, evaluation of high-speed motion picture records involves several basic calculations which have to be repeated very often. The Springfield Armory has developed a special slide rule which will mechanically perform these computations, as well as some precalculations before taking the picture. It is believed that the proposed slide rule permits more rapid evaluations with fewer errors and with less highly trained personnel.
