by a battery operated motor at a single filming speed. A large footage meter was
incorporated into the side of the camera. A four-lens turret holds a wide, standard, and
a telephoto lens for camera use, as well as a dedicated lens for projection. The
side-mounted viewfinder incorporated a top mounted slider adjustable to suit the lens
selected. In projection mode, the camera head mounts onto a base unit, which
incorporates an AC motor; this is coupled to the head via a shaft through the bottom
of the head unit. A 2-pin connector couples power to the 300-watt
projection lamp. The projection lamp is mounted just behind the lens turret off to one
side of the film path. The light from the lamp is applied to the film via a 90-degree
mirror located within the rear sprung pressure plate. The two spool arms swing up to
accept 400 ft reels of film.
