REPAIR & TROUBLESHOOTING - ShutterSpeed Measurement Technics
Master of Arts thesis presented to Boston University in 1949, this comprehensive study examines shutter speed measurement techniques for photographic cameras. The document opens with essential terminology, then traces the historical development of various shutter testing methods from classic to contemporary practice. Coverage includes the rotating camera method, Fuller's electronic chronometer, Kelley and Penther techniques, and oscillographic approaches. Particular emphasis falls on focal plane shutter testing—iconoscope applications, Hurd tests, and stroboscopic methods all receive dedicated treatment. The thesis presents a complete oscillographic shutter test with detailed equipment specifications, test procedure, and performance calculations. A practical electronic shutter speed meter design follows, including construction instructions, circuit operation, and calibration steps. An alternative electronic counter method is also explored. Actual test results and conclusions round out this essential reference for shutter speed measurement and practical testing methodology.
