H-16 LEADER 16mm Camera from 1949
 
Serial No. 54978
 
Specification:
 
  • Highly polished duraluminium body, covered in genuine Morocco leather. Metal parts are chrome-plated.
  • Film: 100ft (30m) and 50ft (15m) daylight loading double perforated 16mm film.
  • Automatic threading and loop forming. The end of the film is simply placed in a channel leading to the feed sprocket. The release is pressed and the film is then automatically threaded throughout the entire mechanism.
  • Constant speed spring motor mechanism; governor controlled. Large winding handle folds downward and attaches to camera when not in use. Spring cannot be over-wound. 8:1 external drive shaft permits the attachment of an electric motor.
  • Rotating turret accommodates three interchangeable C mount lenses. The top position allows for critical focusing through a magnified groundglass screen.
  • Viewfinder: Octameter viewfinder gives an exact viewing field for lenses of 6 focal lengths and can be mounted on the top or the side. A cupped eyepiece allows for critical focusing through a groundglass screen.
  • Variable Speed: 8, 16, 24, 32 and 64 frames per second
  • Release Button: provides for the making of continuous exposures by a finger-tip release on the front of the camera. A side release allows for locked, hands-free running or single frame exposures.
  • 190 degree aperture shutter
  • Footage Counter: adds and subtracts accurately in forward or reverse motion and automatically returns to zero when film is reloaded into the camera.
  • A distinct click announces the passing of each 10 inches of film through the gate. This mechanism may be disengaged, if desired, by simply moving a lever.
  • Twin dial counts frames individually and in total; Adds frames in forward motion and subtracts when film is wound backwards. Dial may be reset manually at any time.
  • Time lapse and animation is possible by using the side release button or an accessory cable release and adapter; I-T lever allows for timed or instantaneous single exposures.
  • Manual Rewind: Clutch disengages spring motor and permits forward movement and backwind without running down the spring; allows for dissolves and superimposition.
  • Tripod Socket: 3/8″ & 1/4″ thread.
  • Overall Dimensions: 8 1/2″ x 6″ x 3″
  • Weight: Approximately 5 1/2 lbs
