Trapped inside a madman's subterranean laboratory, a rocket pilot uses a finned chrome heat-ray torch to sever the heavy copper busbar feeding a crackling Jacob's ladder. Captured on 1940s Kodak Plus-X Panchromatic film with a Taylor Hobson Cooke lens, the frame exhibits stark chiaroscuro lighting, silvery grain, slightly lifted shadows, and radiant halation around the electric arcs.
