Diaseter versus Tix.

The use of high-speed streak cazerus with lenseS is recugemed to record
high-resolution diameter versus time.
ft/sec,

A writing speed of 150 ft/sec to 200

in combination with a narrow stilt (U0.Q8 iach), could

cbesin cime reso-

lution of the order of 1 ysec.

Motion Picture Coverage

The use of several high-speed 35-mm ovtion picture cameras in the ranie
of 1000 to 2000 trames/see is suggested for mre adequate early-time color
photograpiia.

Instrumentation should continue through 3 range of cameras lo
