How does a photo-finish camera work?

If you follow professional bike racing, you no doubt have heard the news of a rare and random double: Both the womens and the mens peloton had races this spring that were decided by really, really, really closely looking at the image of the photo finish camera. Ruth Winder won the Brabantse Pijl against Demi Vollering by a pixel or two, and it took days to convince the Internet that Wout van Aert actually did win the Amstel Gold Race, pipping Tom Pidcock to the line (in a move aptly called ’Tigersprung’ in german).
But did you ever wonder how a photo-finish camera actually works? Why its images are so weirdly distorted?
Lennard Zinn wonderfully explains that the film in the camera and the riders move in sync, at the same speed - at least in theory. And what you get is an image where the horizontal X-Axis is displaying time, not space.

Fantastic stuff, that is well worth a read even if you’re not into bike racing (or any racing, for that matter).
