It is so fast that it can almost "stop" a beam of light. Its shutter is so speedy, that a light ray, traveling at 186,000 miles a second, can move only 10 feet during one exposure. Some day, its inventor said, it may be able to photograph the head of a beam of light coming out of an electric bulb. The camera was displayed at the dedication of the $8,000,000 Michelson laboratory of the naval ordnance testing station.

This laboratory will pioneer the navy's guided missiles and other weapons of the future. Inventor of the camera is Dr. A. M. Zarem of the laboratory research staff.

The instrument consists mainly of two light-polarizing lenses similar to anti-glare glasses and a high voltage electrical circuit. The leases, although crystal clear, can be set in such a way that light will not pass through them. But when two electrical terminals in a glass tube are placed between the lenses and a high voltage charge is sent through the circuit, light can pass through as long as the electrical charge remains there. By controlling the duration of the electric charge, an operator thus can govern the exposure time. Because it can be controlled electrically instead of mechanically, the interval car.

be cut down to a 100 millionth of a second. Since the film could not be moved through a camera fast enough to keep up with this speed, many cameras have to be used--one for each exposure. To photograph the whole period of a millionth of a second requires 100 such cameras, each focused on a particular part of a long film strip and set off in a sort of chain reaction. Each camera costs about 51,500, Dr. Zarem said.
