36. s previously stated the current through the shutter switch contacts also controls the vertical motion of the spot This is done by a circuit using the same electrical characteristics as a flash bulb in a flash gun and is arranged to give a conspicuous vertical spike at the instant the contact is closed or opened For example if a camera with a properly adjusted switch is attached to the flash connection and the release button operated without a light beam the oscilloscope spike will look thus when the button is pressed and the switch closed And thus when the button is released and the switch opened This downward spie has no significance in out shutter testing it occurs during untimed period in the shutter operation However the upward spike marks the instant the switch starts to close and therefore is an important marker Refer now to the preferred picture for 1 50 second shutter and switch timing shown in section 24 100 J the point marks the start of the shutter opening and the point when the shutter is fully opened the point when the shutter starts to close and the final closing of the shutter During the interval from S to D however the switch has closed B marks the time of initial contact of the switch members and C is the time of full electrical contact The point C then is the point when the flash bulb would be connected to the batteries in the flash gun i
