"Shows an operator making more than 150 motions in folding one piece of cloth that should be done with 16 motions. This picture shows intermittent electric lights with the filament and the current so proportioned that the light brightens quickly and dies out slowly. This gives us a photograph of time in that the number of flashes per second is known. Moreover, the point on the spot shows the direction of the motion." (From the Purdue Archives, NF 01/0019 v.1).
