- Abstract
- The stroboscope has long been proposed as a source of illumination for ordinary motion pictures because of several attractive technical features; however, as has been pointed out clearly by F. E. Carlson recently, there are serious disadvantages that must be overcome before the flashtube finds widespread practical use for everyday motion picture studio photography. This study reports additional experiences with flashtubes especially at large power input as would be needed in picture taking. One object was to find the upper power limitations of existing commercial flashtubes. A further object was to study the design and performance of a three-phase efficient power supply.
