Besides normal-speed and high-speed motion picture cameras, many 

 mammoth still cameras were mounted in the photographic planes. 

 Eight photographers are needed to operate the cameras in this C-54. 

 The majority of the films were processed in an air-conditioned labora- 

 tory constructed at Kwajalein. 



Motion picture cameras 

 installed in a C-54 photo- 

 graphic plane. The six 

 Eastman high-speed cam- 

 eras shown at the right 

 are aimed up and down, 

 right and left, by a single 

 control handle. They op- 

 erate one after another, 

 automatically, so as to 

 provide an uninterrupted 

 record of the entire 

 course of the explosion. 

 The resulting films were 

 superb.
