Ralph B. Delano assembles a high speed photolamp in the MIT Hobby Shop. Original caption: "In the Hobby Shop, Ralph B. DeLano, '41, shop foreman this term and expert electrical gadgeteer, at work on the assembling of high speed photolamps for use in photography. Constructed of parts presented by Harold E. Edgerton, '27, the photolamps were used in a high-speed photographic contest which closed on Open House Day and which was open to any student sponsored by a Hobby Shop member. Stanley N. Golembe, '42, has constructed a microphone trip to be used with the lamps. On Open House Day the whole apparatus was used, so that visitors could take high-speed pictures with their own cameras."
