Stroboscopic-Light High-Speed Motion Pictures
Harold Eugene Edgerton, Kenneth J. Germeshausen · Journal of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers · 1934
A discussion of various methods of producing motion pictures at speeds higher than at present attainable with intermittent mechanisms; followed by a description of a high-speed motion picture camera (1200 frames a second, on 35-mm. film) using intermittent light from mercury-arc stroboscope lamps developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Several examples of the use of the lamp are given.
