You may have a point, goofy, but I do remember if the shutter was not fast enough you would get a streaky image or a ghost effect. But could have been a case of blending the ambient light with the flash. It's been a long time.

I just got started in the early 70's, but I trained with guys from that era. I had 2 cameras: YashicaMat 124 (G I think)and a Minolta SRT-101. A Honeywell Strobonar for light (it even had an 'automatic' mode)

If you're talking electronic flash, the short flash duration is what froze the action.
The brief shutter kept the ambient light from registering as much.

Yes, exactly!
The ambient light on the subject registered as a streak.
That's why I liked the leaf shutter on my Mamiya C330- it synced at 1/500 as opposed to my first SLR, a Miranda G. It synced at 1/60th (horizontal cloth focal plane shutter).
My first good flash was a Honeywell Strobonar 800 - all manual. Used a 510 volt battery pack.

Please forgive my ignorance, but on what type camera is a "leaf shutter" found?[/quote]
I see that the leaf shutter camera question has been answered.
My Hasselblads and my Mamiya RZ all have leaf shutters. And they are not 'Mickey-Mouse' cameras.

New speedlights make HSS possible. GoofyNewfie has authored an FAQ which explains this technique:Many newer DSLRs have overcome this problem with the added capability of "High Speed Synch" when using compatible speedlights.

This is a question about how shutter speed is actually measured. Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter is open during the exposure. Is this time measured from the when the shutter first starts to open until it is completly closed or is it just the time the shutter is fully open excluding the time from start to full and from full to close?
Take a look at this video, it actually shows you the process, repeatedly.
