From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Pho·to·chron·o·graph n.
 1. Physics An instrument for recording minute intervals of time. The record is made by the power of a magnetic field, due to an electric signaling current, to turn the plane of polarization of light. A flash, coinciding in time and duration with the signal, is thus produced and is photographed on a moving plate.
 2.  Astron. An instrument for the photographic recording of star transits.
