摘要:
This paper describes an experimental model of a combination Kerr cell camera and flash illumination unit designed specifically for the photography of projectiles under conditions of strong ambient illumination. Specific cases wherein such conditions are found are considered and the applicability of the Kerr cell as a secondary protecting shutter is described. A description is given of a pulse forming network—pulse transformer circuit designed to apply an operating voltage pulse to a Kerr cell of thirty‐six (36) kilovolts amplitude and one point nine (1.9) microseconds duration. Limitations inherent in the present equipment are considered together with proposals for overcoming these defects in future models. Typical results are presented, including (a) a picture taken with the unit showing a twenty‐millimeter shot at the time of emergence from the muzzle of a gun, and (b) a picture of a thirty‐seven millimeter shot taken shortly after penetration of a metal target plate.
