Periphery Camera System

Abstract

The ARL Combustion Group requested the Photographic Section to photograph a TF30 engine flame tube in support of Task 86/036. The photograph was to show the complete external surface of the cylindrical flame tube as a flat plane (i.e. a rolled out flat view). The technique of 'Periphery Photography' was chosen whereby photographs are obtained by rotating the flame tube in front of a camera fitted with a movable film back. For this particular task existing equipment that was used to photograph a flame tube 630 mm in height by 140 mm in diameter was modified. The new flame tube measured 312 mm in height by 170 mm in diameter. This required new calculations to locate the camera assembly, extension guide rails, pulleys and switches. Keywords: Cameras; Photography; Photographic equipment; Australia.
