Abstract:
The Flight Line Recorder FLR is a fixed-position cineballistic camera which rotates 180 degrees on a trunnion axis. The FLR was developed at the U. S. Naval Ordnance Test Station, China Lake, California to record high-speed aerial events. The camera records 10 frames per second, after an effective exposure of 1 millisecond, on 180-foot rolls of 9 12-inch safety film. In each frame the position of the object being tracked is related by photographing it against a grid which shows elevation and azimuth. Timing is recorded by photographing a block of shutterpulsed neon lights which are arranged in a binary-coded decimal BCD form. Author
