BURVILLE 16mm sound
An extra ordinary one-off. Designed and manufactured by Leslie Arthur Burville soon after WW2 it bears resemblance to a number of 16mm sound projector designs around at that time. It has a ‘slot’ type film gate path, rather like the GB L516. The projector runs at 110volts and has a 1000watt pre-focus lamp. The amplifier has a 10watt output. As it was not greatly different to other projectors available after the War it seems that this was the only production model and had limited sales. This artefact is therefore quite rare today. 1947
The projector was designed and manufactured at the Burville Industries factory near Eastbourne. This information comes from Peter and Jill Burville, sone and daughter of Leslie Burville.
