Fifteen years ago or so I saw a contraption (I could not refer to it as a camera) at the NTS which EG&G's Harold Egerton had built to capture the first milliseconds of a nuclear explosion and it reportedly ran at a million frames per second for a few seconds. They would not discuss its technology, the shutter, or how the film got past the slit. PLus it was the size of a Toyota but even uglier than a Prius. I’m fairly certain taht the NTS is still trying to find a home for the most boring film ever taken - atom bomb ignition film. They reportedly have about a million feet of film and it is homeless (as it well should be). Jan On Aug 14, 2013, at 9:56 AM, Andrew Davidhazy wrote:
