- Abstract
- An American bomber is zooming its way to enemy territory on an important mission of destruction. It reaches the outskirts of its destination, loses altitude, the bomb-bay doors are opened. The bombardier sights his target, the bombs are released. The photographer aims his motion picture camera as the bombs fall and presses the release lever—it starts—groans and stops—dead. The bomber returns to base with no photographic record to show whether a “hit” or a “miss” was made. Why did the camera fail? Was the diameter of the sprockets too great or too small? Was the film perforated under- or over-pitch for the sprockets? Was the film core binding on the spindle because it was too wide? Was the failure caused by non-interchangeability of parts and materials?
