Curzon Collection: 9.5 mm Pathescope Gem



PATHESCOPE GEM 9.5mm
A British designed machine not sold in France. Production began as WW2 was declared so it was delayed until after hostilities.
Using a 12v. 100watt lamp high intensity illumination was achieved by an eccentric pin drive to the cam which provided 63% more light transmission. It has a 900ft reel capacity. The lens is a little wanting. Having twin claws minimised any film damage. 8mm and 16mm versions were manufactured. 1948
