The main constructional features are discussed as well as the orienting system used on the rocket range. Timing and camera-phasing devices are mentioned which make the film record assessable to an accuracy of 20 microseconds on the CZR Bowen camera, a model recently developed to meet the increasingly stringent angular and timing accuracies needed In the testing of high-velocity missiles.
