Oscilloscope Cameras - Documenting Work

The only way to record measurements used to be to photograph the wave forms during testing on the oscilloscope. In the 1950s instant film allowed for instant recording of results and engineers used film every day in their work. A film camera was mounted facing the screen. One could run more than one scan on one photo, showing multiple lines on the photo, to show and measure contrast between different tests. William P. Kornrumpf is an electrical engineer with General Electric who started using such test equipment when he started. This is module II.B.2.d, it is the 4th video on oscilloscopes and is part of Unit II of the Universe of Instrumentation program. This program shows us historic tools used by engineers to measure and document their work. The use of time measurement in combination with voltage allowed for radio and television technology to develop.

Very cool

I was looking for some info on taking photos. I am taking photos and either getting some gratitule and a crappy picture or a not to bad trace and darkness around it.
