Abstract: The history of high-speed photography in Great Britain is outlined, beginning with intermediate-rate cameras, defined as those in which the film is transported continuously through the camera mechanism at speeds not exceeding 40 m/sec. Then follows a survey of drum cameras, in which a single loop of film is transported at speeds up to 240 m/sec on a rotating drum, or where images are swept along the stationary film at this rate by moving optical parts. Recent developments in light sources of short duration are discussed and the review concludes with a description of some research studies in zoological, biological and medical sciences, and some recent military applications.
