Motion Photography for Combustion Research

F. W. Bowditch

The history of the use of semi-high-speed photography as a research tool for the study of the combustion process in gasoline engines at General Motors Research Laboratories is presented. The investigations consist of direct photography of the luminous combustion process as seen through quartz windows in the heads of several gasoline internal combustion engines. Both commercial cameras and cameras designed and built in these laboratories were used.
