High-Speed Motion Picture Cameras from France
Two high-speed motion picture cameras developed by the French firm of Merlin-Gerin-Debuit are briefly described. The first operates at a speed of 3000 frame/sec, using 100-ft rolls of 16mm film; the second, using standard 35mm film, can be operated up to a speed of 100,000 frame/second. Both cameras employ a rotating lens drum. In the slower camera ordinary oscillographic film unwinds continuously by conventional means. The second camera uses the device of a film strip which is attached to the interior of the lens drum rotating with it.
