High Speed Motion Pictures—Without an Especially Designed Camera

J. H. McNabb

Scientific research efforts, especially during the preceding half “decade, apparently have resulted in more rapid strides toward perfecting the film for high speed photography than was evidenced by the mechanical development for the fullest utilization of the speed incorporated in the emulsion by the chemists. Theoretically, exposures upwards of two hundred and more per second are as easily obtained as sixteen; however, in the absence of a continuous movement camera, the laws of inertia of moving objects, and the comparatively low tensile strength of film, have constituted very serious obstacles for an intermittent movement camera.
