Abstract
PROF. W. A. BONE and Mr. R. P. Fraser have recently described their further experiments upon detonation of combustible gaseous mixtures.* Some very beautiful photographs of the phenomenon of ‘spin’, first observed by Campbell and Woodward (1926), have been taken by means of the Fraser high speed camera, especially designed for this work, and described in Phil. Trans., vol. 228,1929, p. 197. The larger machine was able to provide a vertical peripheral film speed up to 200 metres per second, so that resolution of the high speed movements of the flame front is obtainable.
