GAUMONT CHRONO HEAD 35mm
Un-loved and derelict this was found in circumstances which indicated it was bound for scrap. Rescued, it gives some idea of what these once widely used projectors looked like although much is missing.

Leo Gaumont produced the Chrono around 1910. It was used extensively in and by Bioscopes and when cinemas began to be established it was a popular projector. It is thought that the Curzon had at least one Chrono in its first cinema, "The Picture House", in the days prior to WW1. It is hoped that one day we shall find more parts to complete this historic machine.
