Abstract: 16,053. Kershaw, A. July 20. Exposures, determining.-Apparatus depending upon persistence of vision is arranged for ascertaining the exposures given by shutters, more particularly of the roller-blind focal-plane variety. A horizontal slit 3 in a stationary board is illuminated by a source of light, and in front of it there is rotated a disc 7 with radial slits 8 so distanced that one of them is always intersecting the horizontal slit, whereby a spot of light appears to travel along the slit. The spot of light is viewed through the aperture of the shutter and the speed of rotation altered until, when the shutter is operated, the whole slit appears to be illuminated just simultaneously. For slow speeds, the determination may be made from the proportion of the slit appearing bright. The disc is rotated by means of a pulley and rope from a motor, the number of rotations being deduced from signals given upon a bell driven by a reducing-gear as shown. For iris diaphragm shutters, a circular stationary slit and a single movable slit 8 are employed.
