DEKKO Model 48 9.5mm SILENT PROJECTOR 1937?
This Dekko projector is though to be the first to be produced by the Dekko Camera Co. Ltd. of Slough although the model number suggests otherwise. It was little more than a toy projector. Hand-cranked it could only accommodate 60feet spools and a light output of 50watts. It was an expensive toy and one can only imagine the more well-off children having such a gift for Christmas especially if it came with a 9.5 camera as well. 9.5mm films were exclusively the product of Pathe and the gauge became very popular only to be unseated eventually by Kodak with it's 8mm. The gauge is still much sought after.

PATHESCOPE 200B 9.5mm Silent Projector 1933
The first 'proper' 9.5mm projector manufactured in the UK. Previously 9.5mm equipment was manufactured in France or in the British factory for distribution from the French H.Q. The 200B was of British design and manufacture throughout and it was a superb projector for amateur use. It has a variable speed motor, sprocket feed and a 200watt Lamp and comes with a small transformer. It is wire belt driven to both spool arms and can be reversed for rewind. A later model was produced to the same specification with dual gauge 16mm/9.5mm which was aimed at the visual aids market. This projector still runs today after 70 years. It's outline has been used for the Curzon Collection logo.

The Collection is still looking for more 9.5mm equipment especially a sound projector and would be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to donate such equipment that is no longer required.
