Curzon Collection: 16 mm British Thomson-Houston 301


BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON 301 16mm sound

BTH of Rugby first produced a 16mm projector in 1934, the SRB. It was a heavy and cumbersome machine. Following the cessation of WW2 a completely new projector was designed with a 110volt 300watt lamp.

The 301 had all the usual features and a 2 inch standard lens and 10 watt amplifier built in. The 301 was a popular projector but not as much as the GeBescope range form GB Equipments. Although designed by BTH it was manufactured by Specto. 1947
