We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

751 at a normal speed, the movements appear to the spectator to be slowed down, so that their various phases can be exactly followed and analysed. This kind of high speed registration is called accelerated taking of pictures. On the other hand, when the phenomenon has so slow a development that it cannot be perceived in continuous fashion by microscopic observation, as often happens in growth phenomena and cell movement and division, it is possible to increase at will the interval between photograms. If the film is allowed to run through the projector at a normal speed of 16 to 20 photograms a second, the impression of an accelerated movement is obtained. The real duration of the movement is reduced in the reproduction and these low frequency registrations are called slow motion cinematography. The following table shows the relation between the number of photograms per second and the slowing down or speeding up of the movement during the normal speed projection.
