Eumig Super 610D Super 8 cine projector, modified for widescreen and GAF 65 Auto Zoom Super 8mm Cine Camera.

Camera and projector both modified for widescreen usage to take Kodak film stock, by Mr S Warriner, founder member of Morecambe Bay Movie Makers and an active amateur widescreen filmmaker. Camera and projector both modified to give a wide screen image by mounting the shutter at a 45 degree angle across the film meaning that the camera and projector had to be positioned at an angle to take and show the films. The concept was undeveloped as Kodak did not agree to remove their name from the edge of the film stock which unfortunately appeared on the screen in flashes.

EUMIG was an Austrian company producing audio and video equipment that existed from 1919 until 1982. The name is an acronym for Elektrizitäts und Metallwaren Industrie Gesellschaft, or, the "Electricity and Metalware Industry Company."
