The Accuracy and Stability of Photographic Equipment for use as part of a Photographic Detector System

Abstract

The kine photographic system has been broadly discussed in the first paper of this series. In that paper it was shown to have great potential as a quantitative detector of brightness. The kine film and processing have been studied at length and shown to be adequately stable under certain conditions. The present paper considers in detail the essential equipments associated with such a “Photographic Detector" System. It is shown that, although several pitfalls exist, it is possible to produce equipment capable of operating as a reliable and efficient system.
