- Abstract
- The history of frame cameras which can produce serial photographs to measure velocities of physical phenomena is traced. In numerous ways advances in one area have been interlaced with advances in others, e.g., in film transport, mechanical shuttering, intermittent light sources, image-film motion compensation, optical shuttering, image sampling and electronic image converters. Reasons for the interlacing and the results there from are suggested.
