Abstract: Two streak cameras have been developed by the National Research Council for use in various studies of high-speed gas phenomena. In the design of both cameras the emphasis is on simplicity without sacrificing performance or convenience of operation. Both cameras can be manufactured without the use of special high-precision machine tools or testing equipment. For photographing high-speed phenomena, a rotating-mirror camera has been developed. The rotating mirror is mounted on hydrostatic air bearings and is driven by a radial-flow air turbine to avoid any contamination of the film or mirror by oil mist. Film loading and unloading can be done in normal light and the camera may be operated in any position. The maximum film writing speed is 5mm/μsec. The present lens system provides an effective aperture of f/14. An electronic speed detector and control unit has been incorporated to trigger the event when the mirror is in the correct position for photographing. For use where lower film writing speeds are adequate, or where synchronization with the event is not feasible, a compact air-bearing rotating-drum camera has also been developed.
