Engineering:Chronocinematograph
File:Chronokinematograph.stl Chronocinematograph is an astronomical instrument consisting of a film camera, chronometer and chronograph.[1]:15[2]:284-285 The device records images using a more precise timetable for observing an eclipse. It was invented in 1927 by a Polish astronomer, mathematician and geodesist Tadeusz Banachiewicz for observing total solar eclipses.[1]:15[2]:284-285 During the same year, Banachiewcz used his device for solar observations in Lapland (Sweden), then in USA (1932) and Greece, Japan and Siberia (1936).[1]:15[2]:286
The invention enhanced the precision for determining the time of an eclipse, due to more precisely timed photos of Baily's beads,[1]:15[2]:284-285 and quantifying the duration of totality. This could not have been observed as closely as before due to the brightness of the sun.[1]:15[2]:284-286
