The Motion Picture Unit at Rocketdyne, a division of North American Aviation, Inc., employs both 16mm and 35mm Mitchell cameras to accu¬ rately record testing of power plants for the Air Force Thor IRBM and Atlas ICBM missiles, and the Army’s Redstone medium range and Jupiter IRBM weapons.
Camera dependability is of critical concern where months of preparation go into each test, and retakes are impossible. Mitchell cameras assure uniform excellence of highest film quality and trouble-free operation that no other camera can match.
Other Rocketdyne films, like the full-length prize winning documentary “Road to the Stars,” demand extreme camera flexibility. Special Report films, for example, involve interior shots of plant and production lines which normally would require prohibitively expensive lighting. Mitchell cameras, with their 235 degree shutters, do this job easily with a mini¬ mum of lighting equipment.
Precision Test Firing of Rocket Engine at Rocketdyne’s Pro¬ pulsion Field Laboratory is recorded by Mitchell Camera in remote 1600 acre test area in Santa Susana Mountains, California.
