Pathe Baby cine camera

Pathe Baby cine camera. Hand turned cine camera for 9.5mm film in Pathex reloadable chargers. Hermagis anastigmat lens F: 20mm f/3.5-14 No.86335. 2 turns per second hand drive. Rotary meter counter. Folding frame finder (front frame missing). Parallax correction for 1 meter. No.068655. Continsouza. GB Patent 208105.

The Pathe Baby 9.5mm cine camera dates from 1923. The film was loaded into small metal 'chargers' which contained around 30 feet of film. This system allowed for much easier film loading, with the charger slotting into the film mechanism. The camera was initially hand cranked, although a clockwork motor drive was available from 1926.
