Swift Camera Photographs Explosive Action of 'Gas' A movie camera that takes 40,-000 40,-000 pictures a second is used to photograph the explosive action of aviation gasolines at the NACA aircraft engine research laboratory labora-tory in Cleveland, says Collier's. This camera so slows down actions ac-tions that if it were used to photograph photo-graph a football player making a 40-yard run, the projection of the film, at the normal rate of 24 pictures pic-tures a second, would require 2 hours and, 20 minutes.
