More
The Midas camera/projctor was shown at the British Industries Fair in February and March 1934 and originally cost seven guineas. When used as a camera it took 30 feet (9.1m) of 9.5mm film in circular magazines. A small electric motor, could be attached, otherwise it was hand cranked. The processed films could be projected by the same mechanism but turned by hand, and a built-in electric lamp provided the light when the machine was connected to a battery.
