To obtain these data, the 16-mm movie camera was used. A Black Powder pasted paper strip was arranged on a piece of metal mesh. Grains of burst charge, or stars, were arranged on the strip at intervals of about 5 cm, and the paper strip was ignited at one end. The grains or stars ignited one by one. They were photographed from a distance of about 1.5 meters.
