The BRL-NGF Cinetheodolite

Sidney M. Lipton, Kennard R. Saffer

A number of incomplete Askania cinetheodolites are being extensively rehabilitated and modified under a joint program of the Navy Bureau of Ordnance and the Army Ordnance Ballistic Research Laboratories. New features include improved bearings, data circles, complete replacement of all mount components except carriage castings, a Mitchell high-speed camera movement operating synchronously at 16, 32 or 64 frames/sec, 500-ft magazines, and telescopic optical systems of 60-, 96-, 144- and 180-in. focal lengths.
