Abstract
The measuring apparatus consisted of twelve holes in a circle, which allowed light to flash out in succession by means of a slotted rotating disc placed behind them. The subject was required to state the number of bright spots seen, as the eyes rested upon this object momentarily in passing from a fixation point to the left to one on the right. Five speeds of the disc were used in making 1900 measurements on nine subjects. Separate measurements varied from 0.071 to 0.250 second. The average duration of the eye-pause so measured was constant at 0.150 a for disc-speeds of 3-5 revolutions per sec, and somewhat lower when the disc-speed was increased to 6 or 7 revolutions.
