Duoscope cinecamera/projector for 17.5mm film with 2 frameline perforations; Meyer Kinon IIF lens F:35mm f/3.2 no 69062; form of sprung beater movemen-t with pivoted shutter blade. Holds 25m film; frame finder; spool loading. Small internal electric lamphouse for projection; provision for external motor drive.
The Duoscope camera/projector was introduced in 1912 and used 17.5mm film with two perforations on the line between the frames. An electric lamp was built into the camera body, so that by connecting it to a battery the camera could be used as a projector. It is an example of many pieces of equipment from the early 20th century which operate both as a camera and a projector.
