i6o PRACTICAL CINEMATOGRAPHY tube can be kept continuously at work for as many as fifty-five seconds if desired. The camera is fitted with a lens made from quartz, which permits the maximum quantity of the actinic rays to pass through to the sensitized film. The film is covered with an exceptionally sensitive emulsion in order to ensure the best results possible with very short exposures. In order to protect the spools of film in the camera from the actinic properties of the rays diffused from the fluorescent screen, the boxes are covered with sheet lead, while the operator is protected with a lead apron, such as is used generally in Rontgen ray investigations. The many interesting films which Dr. Comandon has produced offer adequate testi- mony to the practicability and success of the system which he has evolved. Undoubtedly it is the simplest and most inexpensive method of " radio-cinematography " which has been brought into practical operation up to the present, and it is one which may be followed by the private investigator with such modifications as may suggest themselves in particular cases.
