Rapid-Closing Electronically-Operated Shutter

Abstract
A shutter that closes quickly for capping drum cameras is described. A density of 3 is obtained in about 30 μsec by the sudden evaporation of a network grid of small lead wires. Energy for the evaporation and control of the operation instant are accomplished by a charged capacitor and a series hydrogen thryatron respectively.
