A Simple Apparatus for Making Rapid Serial Radiographs of Small Objects
G. E. H. Foxon · British Journal of Radiology · 1948
An apparatus is described which permits of serial radiographs of small fields being made up to a rate of three per second. The apparatus is home-made and simple in construction. The principle of the apparatus is to use a continuous beam of X rays which is interrupted by a shutter placed above the object being radiographed; while the shutter is closed a film placed below the object moves forward and then becomes stationary while the next exposure is made. Suggestions for further applications of this principle are made.
