Summary
Cine Kodak Model A 16mm cine camera. The camera is housed in a solid metal black-painted box, with a black leather handle, and has an f3.5 focussing lens, with aperture and distance set by moveable levers on the rear of the box, and a rear or top view viewfinder controlled by a lever on the side. Below the viewfinder lever is the winding handle, and on the rear is a dial showing how much film has been exposed. One side of the box can be removed to reveal the mechanism and to change the film spools. On the inside of this is a printed label with instructions for keeping the film track clean. One of the spools contains a reel of unexposed but fogged film. Markings; on a plate screwed to the camera front "Cine-Kodak. Made in U.S.A. by Eastman Kodak Co. Rochester N.Y. Serial No. 02465. 19235." . Under the winding handle "Turn crank 2 revolutions per second. Patented in U.S.A. Feb 7 1922 other patents pending"
