Analysis of Motion

C. P. Watson

OWING to certain tests made in steel foundry production early in 1917 and the inability to obtain more than a momentary viewing of such tests through the medium of standard motion pictures, my thoughts turned to the subject as to how a better understanding of problems confronting us could be obtained, which led to some haphazard, spasmodic experiments along the lines of “slowing down” motion picture photography. During the year 1917 I devoted almost constant study to the subject, and manufactured a crude, model of a “Novagraph” camera, in fact, many crude models. I am quite sure were I afforded an opportunity to put a yard-stick on the raw stock used in my experimental work during that single year the gross footage would undoubtedly reach around the world.
