Photographing Flying Rife Bullet.
Photographs Of t-,e int,ritr OF the gun
are taken by II eaIN Of the electric light,
and the Information obtained hy these
means is most valuable, and IS mani
testify more satisfactory than that gwen
| by the method Of taking lmpre' SONS OF
The bore i'll soft rubber. Photography
has also been made use OF III studying
the motion of the projectile. In the
case of large guns instantaneous views
of the shot during It's flight have been
successfully taken by means OF camera
provided with a quick acting shutter.
| This method is not applicable, however,
TO small arms. 4 rifle bullet is very
small object, and the camera must be
set very near its path in order to obtain
picture of sufficient size to be Of use;
but the nearer the, instrument is placed
to the moving object to be photographed
the more rapid is the motion of the
image over the plate, and no "instan-
taneoIls" or Quick acting shutter could
possibly be made to operate with suffi-
Gent rapidity, or at the proper instant,
