We are proud to have
in the Curzon Collection a classic example of one of the
best known of portable 35mm Projectors. These projectors
were designed and manufactured mainly for use in the Royal
and Merchant Navies though they were had other applications
particularly during WW2.
The design enabled the projector
to be able to pass through the man hatches of the larger
deck hatches found aboard ship when it was dismantled.
It was a powerful machine with a 1000watt lamp and could
utilise a number of different lenses.
This particular model was ‘saved’
and restored by the late Eric Mortimer, a member of the
PPT. It is in full working order and it is intended to
eventually take the projector ‘on tour’.
All the lovely valves of the
GB’N’ Amplifier are illustrated here.
