32 Exposures Per
Second For 'Eyemo'
A double speed mechanism for the Eyemo camera, is announced by the Bell & Howell Company, manufacturers of the Eyemo.
The new mechanism permits the taking of pictures at the rate of 32 exposures per second, in addition to the standard speed of 16 per second.

Besides facilitating the cinematographic activities of those engaged in golf, rowing, horse racing and other forms of sports and athletics, the addition to the Eyemo equipment is regarded as being especially adaptable for studio, newsreel and other professional motion picture use.
