Francis Jenkins, inventor and camera expert, says in "American Cinematographer" : "Pictures are now regularly made at the rate of 3200 photographs per second, that is, 200 times standard (16 pictures per second) motion picture speed. In the study of high speed motion it is comparable to a microscope of 200 diameter power in the study of small objects. Speeds still higher are believed feasible but perhaps not often required. No radical modifications in the camera have been made in the last two years to regularly attain this high speed. "Perhaps the most interesting subject was the photographing (at 3200 exposures per second) of pigeons' wings when the pigeons were released from a basket. "The quality of the negatives are quite comparable with the negatives which are intermittently moved at but a tenth to a twentieth the speed."
