Name of photographer who used slow slit shutter?

Hi,

I'm searching for the name of a famous photographer. I think he was active
during the 1st half of the 20th Century. His camera's shutter consisted of
a slit which moved relatively slowly across the negative. The result was
that any movement of the subject produced a slanted image because the top of
the frame was exposed before the bottom. I think a couple of his famous
photos were of a racing car and a horse.

I'll be most indepted if you can help me find this guy's name!

Many thanks,
Jack
