Extract

Rotating-Drum (or mirror) cameras have often been used in conjunction with schlieren apparatus to investigate the performance of shock tubes. In the conventional arrangement the working section is viewed through a slit parallel to the axis of the tube, which is also parallel to the drum axis. The photographic record obtained on a film attached to the drum represents the distance-time (x, t) diagram of the propagation of (density) disturbances in the working section. The quantitative information obtainable from such records is usually limited to the speed of propagation of such disturbances.
