whole process. which is in reality very
complicated and comprised of different
stages is visible in every detail.
4t
One of the first purposes to which the
ba1listic kinematograph was applied was
the study of the effect of projectiles on
human bones. Before Prof. Cranz's in
vention practically nothing was known
of this beyond the obvious fact that
bullet on striking a bone either pene-
trates it. making a fairly regular hole,
or splinters it to such an extent that 1t
is broken through. The ballistic kline
matograph for the first time yielded a
series of pictures, showing every stage
of the process. About sixty pictures
fraction of a second are needed to show
what takes place from the firing of the
bullet to the clearing away OF the smoke.
In the first eight the bone Is seen simply
hanging free. In the ninth the bullet
begins to impinge on the film. but de-
spite the incredible velocity with which
it moves, five clearly outlined slhOuettes
are taken before it strikes the bone.
From that state onWard-until the bone
is so splintered that it is broken in two
pictures are taken showing every detail.
On striking the bone it is seen that the
first thing done by the bullet is to raise
a tiny cloud of bone dust on the side
first struck. On the next picture. one
five-thousandth part OF second later,
the bullet has passed through the bone.
carrying with it the cloud of dust; but
it would seem that merely a hole has
been driven through. as the bone has not
yet had time to splinter. The bullet is
now speeding on its way outside tho
field of the film, but the dust cloud
grows. and is seen to be mixed with
small, but clearly defined splinters, the
movement of each of which through the
air can be traced in the successive pic
lures.
After this the smoke from the rifle
partly obscures the process; and when
the smoke thins, the bone is seen to be
completely broken in two and the big
splinters formed, though flying away at
enormous speed, seem stationary and
hanging to the bone like rags. How
rapid is the action of the apparatus may
be judged by following the position of
a single splinter on twenty or thirty sue
cessive films. The splinter is really tear
ing swiftly through the air in a little
tempest of gas and whirling fragments,
