In carrying out photographic studies of explosive reactions extreme caution is essential in the interpretation of the results obtained with any one type of camera. Employing the three types of cameras described in this report, the certainty as to the identity and nature of the explosive events is increased, but real scientific rigor cannot yet be assigned to theories which have been postulated on photographic studies alone. Past British work in this field is out standing, and in many cases is ahead of our work. The image converter (Table I, d. and m.) which is probably the most versatile and powerful single tool for the studies of detonation and shock is a good example of recent British development. With each phase in the study of the physics of explosions the researcher is faced with new problems and a requirement for almost "fantastic" recording instruments.
