Abstract

Motion pictures which depict action greatly slowed down are of unique assistance in analyzing complex machinery and processing operations. In recent years cameras for taking high-speed motion pictures have become generally available, and the technique for their use is easily acquired. Although their application in the textile industry has thus far not been extensive, it is probable that textile engineering and production departments will find high-speed motion pictures a valuable aid in analyzing defective machinery, in "trouble-shooting," and in the development of new processing methods. This article includes a description of the types of cameras used, special details on technique, a comparison with other methods for viewing action, and illustrations of some of the applications.
