...positive print is placed on a cylinder which revolves 100 times per minute and moves horizontally one inch per minute. A tiny beam of light, trained on the picture at a 45° angle, is reflected to a "light valve." Inside the valve is a shutter which opens and shuts 1,200 times per second. The reflected beam sends the lights & shadows of the picture through the shutter to a conventional photo-electric cell ("electric eye"). There the image is translated into electric impulses which flash over the wires-10,000 mi., if desired-to the receiving machine. The receiver...
...apple bobbed twice and the camera was in his stomach. Dr. Falenks squeezed a rubber bulb in his left hand, sent a puff of air down the tube to distend the patient's stomach walls. Then he pressed a button in his right hand. A metal shutter clicked open the 16 pinholes, Henry Harrington's dark interior flared up with the brilliance of 20,000 candles and in 1/120th of a second 16 views of his stomach were registered on the films...
...Kazan. Backed against the rough-hewn wall of a log cabin eleven men, most in underclothes, barefoot, one half-naked, are standing in the snow. The volley (whose echo Authoress Yurlova compares to "an immensely swift flight of pigeons across the yard") has just crashed. The camera's shutter has caught the eleven bullet-riddled victims in the act of falling. One is arched up, head back, on tiptoe. One, with a long beard, has turned sideways, looks like a figure on a Greek frieze. One man's knee is drawn up as if he were getting ready...

When the cottage is ready, Mr. & Mrs. Mackay will shutter the big house-paintings, armor, indoor tennis courts & all- let the sunken gardens and model farms run wild, move into the cottage with one servant...
...Edward Bausch invented the iris diaphragm shutter which made the snapshot camera practical. Later he made a deal with the late great Ernst Abbe, head of the Carl Zeiss Works of Jena, to make Zeiss prism binoculars in the U. S., trading Bausch manufacturing for Zeiss research facilities. The deal held good until the War, when Bausch perforce perfected the U. S. manufacture of fine optical glass, made 3,500 binoculars a week (besides periscopes, range finders, gun sight telescopes, searchlight mirrors). War demands mechanized the manufacture of microscopes. Prices fell from over $1,000 for hand-worked ones...
