many times this rate of 450 frames/sec, still this rate places the camera in the high-speed class for recording most machine motions, rocket launchings and flights, .or aircraft components in flight. 2. The film is stationary during exposure. The shutter action and the intermittent film action cause no loss in resolution or distortion. The quality of pictures from the camera then is limited only by the quality of the lens, the film and the operator. 3. The frame shape is such as to give maximum information. Since objects for high-speed photography in this speed range of, say, 50 to 450 frames/sec are usually moving in essentially a predetermined straight line (rocket launchings, missile trajectories, high-speed vehicles or machine motions), the 10 to 1 ratio of width to height is very convenient. This aperture size is -f as high but 5^ times as wide as a normal 16mm frame. 4. The camera is small and light. These features allow mounting it on an aircraft or other vehicle, and they make the camera very portable. The camera has been used a number of times on the ground and aboard aircraft in flight with excellent performance results. The camera is a product of Producers Service Co., 2704 W. Olive Ave., Burbank, Calif. Fig. 4. Sample of pictures taken with the camera. 674 June 1953 Journal of the SMPTE Vol. 60
