“QUICKER’N A WINK”
Quick as a wink is a great deal too slow.
This proverbial epitome of speed is beaten a dozen times over by the newest trick in scientific high-speed photography, which can take 13 “frames” of motion pictures of a human eye during the fortieth of a second it spends in getting shut. It doesn’t even need to extend itself in doing it, either, for it is able to make a perfectly clear and sharp picture in a hundred-thousandth of a second.
