Rapid-Sequence Camera Using 70mm Film

This paper presents the problem of obtaining relatively large photographs in sequence at frame rates up to 50/sec. Design characteristics required for a camera suitable for obtaining photographic data of missile launchings and flights with negatives $2{1\over4}$ in. wide and $2{1\over2}$ or 5 in. long are enumerated. The intermittent film transporting mechanism and shutter system used in the solution of this problem are described.
