For that purpose the insufficiency of the advance of the subject has t be made up for by a displacement of the image on the plate. This can be brought about in several ways. In the first place, the camera, with its attachments, can lie pivoted on its support and caused to turn about a vertical axis. The difficulty of moving the considerable mass uniformly caused, however, the abandonment of this method in favor of the rotation of a mirror by clockwork, causing the reflection to strike different points of the plate. In this way a series of complete photographs are obtained, following one another at extremery short intervals of time. Indeed, the frequency of the photographs may be made very great. Their total number is, how- ever, restricted because the optical axis of the instrument, being dis-. placed along the black background, soon reaches the end of it. A final solution was to take the photographs upon different points of a long fillet which moves along the focal plane of the camera and is stopped long enough for each exposure. Chronophotogra/phy on a film ribbon, Ma?'ey, 1887: In consequence of the invention of the kodak, long paper fillets of gelatino-bromide of silver had become articles of commerce. A little later transparent films made their appearance; and these were still more appropriate for the chronophotograplry of long series of pictures. Three patterns of apparatus were exhibited in the case under No. 8. These showed the successive steps of invention. Type a: The apparatus (fig. 12) worked in the red light of the dark room. The objective was pointed outward across a conical shade. In the place of the ordinary plate-holder was placed a shelf carrying a. Please note that these images are extr
