Re: "Dubious" for flash-light photography edit

His invention was a way of replacing the old burning-magnesium flashbulbs with a strobe light timed to activate when the camera shutter released. He does in fact have patents on this. Is it reinventing the light bulb? Sort of. Is it useful to replace a single-use exploding bulb with a strobe? Most definitely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.248.2.163 (talk) 23:00, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/09/business/international/artur-fischer-inventor-with-more-patents-than-edison-dies-at-96.html quotes him as “At the time [1947], you could only use a powder flash for interior shots, which you had to ignite with a cord,” which I think is highly dubious. -- MarkMLl 217.169.17.12 (talk) 08:59, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
