Photoinstrumentation and the SMPTE
A comprehensive history of instrumentation and high-speed photography does not exist in the published literature and space limitations preclude the possibility of such treatment here. Primary emphasis will be placed on those historical developments that relate to the Society and the role it has played in the growth of the field. Highlights in the early history of instrumentation and high-speed photography have been described in some detail by Smith (1952)1 and Eisendrath (1966).2 Unfortunately, there is some redundancy of other works in this report, but it is thought necessary to include this background information as historical perspective to events that follow. The reader is referred to the above authors and the references cited at the end of this article for more detailed information and trends pertaining to specific subjects of interest.
