Cameras and Lights for Underwater Use

Harold E. Edgerton, Lloyd D. Hoadley

The design of underwater automatic and controlled cameras is discussed. A camera of linear design uses a 4-in. (ID) cylinder and a standard 100-ft roll of 35mm film, exposing 800 frames of double 35mm size. Electronic flash is used for illumination, either synchronized with a shutter when external light is present, or without a shutter in darkness. Simplified calculations are given in chart form for cylinders and end plates with external pressure. A few experimental points are given.
