Abstract: The Kerr cell electrooptical shutter has been adapted to obtain millimicrosecond, high-resolution photographs of models fired on a ballistic range. Sixteen stations employing these shutters are used to obtain aerodynamic data on nose cone models fired at velocities to 14,000 ft/sec. Energy stored in the Kerr cell pulse generator is used to generate the light pulse necessary for making the shadowgraph and schlieren exposures.
