Academy Leaders ASSOCIATED TELEPHOTO LABORATORY 2705 West Olive, Burbank, Calif. TH 6-7779 EM 6-1036 SPACE CAMERAS Continued from Page 103 of sun on quartz glass window. Photo (2) shows the moment of sepa¬ ration of booster, which produces a sudden cloud of fuel residue. The white area in lower central portion of photo is reflection of sun on booster. In photo (3), a second-stage nozzle is now visible as also is the combustion ring, which permits film analysis of fuel ignition. In this photo, the booster is dark shape just above nozzle. In the last photo, (4), the empty booster has turned edgewise toward the camera and appears as a tiny dark ring in the center of the picture. Until now, the exact details provided by the films recorded with these cam¬ eras had been impossible to obtain through the usual booster-staging study methods of telemetry and long-range telescopic tracking. The Milliken cameras used were high-speed 1 6mm motion picture units capable of speeds up to 400 frames per second. The cameras can be equipped with a Sun Gun strobe light that pro¬ vides 3200 foot-candles of photograph¬ ic illumination. Lenses of the thrustsection cameras provide a 55° field of view of the target area, while the ex¬ terior staging camera can cover a field of 110 degrees. The staging cameras strike the landing areas at a speed of about 70 miles per hour. ■ ‘THE VIRGINIAN’ Continued from Page 100 termining exposure, it is pointed out. In this respect, the film is treated exactly the same as the earlier color negative. Directly responsible for the control of color quality in both the photogra¬ phy and release printing of “The Vir¬ ginian'’ shows is Revue’s camera de¬ partment head, William V ade. Work¬ ing closely with both Director of Photography Lindon and the labora¬ tory, his aim is to get the precise quality desirable for both theatre and television — the two mediums for which “The Virginian” is produced. “ ‘The Virginian' is the first 90minute TV film show to be photo¬ graphed in color,” says Wade. “If it starts a trend, it will be due to the photography,” he concluded. ■ H * W > w o w w H < H W m w g BLACK § REVERSAL PRINTING PROCESSING COLOR PRINTING OTHER SERVICES • Work Prints • Color-to-Color Prints • Color-to B & W Prints • Raw Stock • Ultrasonic Film Cleaner • A & B Roll Prints • Fades-Dissolves • Timed Prints • Edge Numbering FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION WRITE 723 Seventh Ave., New York 19, N.Y. .
