Pentax camera at 7000 fps in 1945?
User 83.79.47.175 added this entry on 8 Oct 2006 (last paragraph above 1 - Sources):

"'The physician Bernard Waldman, a member of the Project Alberta, was assigned to the crew of Necessary Evil, the B-29 that photographied the explosion of Hiroshima. Waldman was responsible for the Pentax camera that could take 7000 frames per second.'"

"Pentax" is/was a trade name for a Japanese camera firm that was first used after WW 2 (c. 1957) for a model of single lens reflex 35 mm camera. I don't think that US military would be using Japanese photo equipment in 1945 - even if it was available. Also, it seems technically unlikely that a camera capapable of 7000 frames per second existed in 1945. --TGC55 11:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

It was a "Fastax" camera according to: Hugo999 (talk) 21:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

This page (Fastax camera undated) talks about 10,000 frames per second! Another fast camera is the Dynafax Hugo999 (talk) 22:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Edward, H. or B. Doll‎?
I can't check the source given in the text, but the sources I see have referred to him as Edward B. Doll. If someone has access to the source text, could you please check? Thanks. -Yupik (talk) 05:26, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ The source says "Edward B. Doll", so I have corrected the article; it seems to have been a mis-typed initial. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:42, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
