THE EFFECT OF ORIENTATION OF 'BREAK' CONTINUOUS CIRCUITS ON MEASUREMENTS,

Abstract

The cause of and remedy for inconsistencies in velocity data when using 'break' continuous conductive circuits were investigated. 'Break' continuous conductive circuits (a type of silvered paper screen) have been used as a trigger for measuring velocities, flashing light sources, flash X-rays, etc, for some time. An effort has been made to determine the best silver line width and spacing to use for a particular application and to explain the inconsistencies that have occurred when this method has been used for sequential timing. Tests show that with proper selection of size and orientation of the screens, any inconsistencies caused by these screens can be minimized. (Author)
