A Trichromatic Colorimeter <strong>with</strong> Spectral Primaries 227<br />
The next step in the development of the system is to consider the effect of<br />
blocking out parts of the concave mirror. The result will be that some parts of the<br />
spectrum are cut off, whilst others are reflected back to emerge as a parallel beam,<br />
and the colour of the beam will no longer be white but will be the colour resulting<br />
from the mixture of the reflected portions. This, then, provides a method of<br />

separating any portions of the spectrum desired and re-combining them by<br />
neutralising the dispersion by which they were first separated.<br />
It is but a short step from the use of a concave mirror <strong>with</strong> parts blocked out<br />
to the employment of narrow strips of plane mirror mounted on arms which rotate<br />
about P'. Provided that the strips are fairly narrow, the effect of their being plane<br />
instead of concave may be neglected. For the case when P is at the focus of T<br />
and therefore P' at infinity, the strips of mirror would have to move on a straight<br />
slide instead of on the arc of a circle,
