Dekko cine camera for cassette-loaded 9.5 mm film, c. 1938. Each cassette or charger contains 30 feet of film. The camera is driven by a clockwork mechanism. One wind runs 30 feet of film. A film footage indicator registers the amount of film used. The standard lens fitted is a Ross cine lens F.1.9 25 mm f.l. with an interchangeable C mount. The built-in viewfinder is masked to enable the use of a telephoto lens with a 75 mm f.l. The filming speed can be varied from 8 frames per second, speeding up the motion, to 64 frames per second, in slow motion. The normal filming speed is 16 frames per second. The trigger release can be set to three different positions: normal run, continuous run, and single-frame exposures. With leather case, Pathescope 9.5 mm filmpack cassette in original carton, and brush.
