Every one must have noticed that in moving pictures the wheels of carriages or automobiles often seem to be turning backward in- stead of forward. (An authority says: In taking a moving picture there are, perhaps. sixteen expos- ures made each second. If now the spokes of the wheel of a car- riage move with a speed so that the spokes are in the same posi- tion at each exposure. that wheel will seem to stand still in the pic- ture. If the wheel is moving sloW- ‘er. then the spokes will be seen further backward in the success- ive views, and the wheel will seem to turn backward. while it will be seen to turn forward when the spokes move fast enough to oc- .cupy posiitions further forward in ,each exposure. It is a matter of Ethe interruption for the exposure and the motion of the wheel. If ithere are sixteen exposures and Ethe wheel turns through the space gbetween two sspokes in oneâ€"six- teenth of a second. the wheel would be in the same position at ‘each successive exposure. and so .would not seem to move at all.
