EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL CAMERA 77 Fig. 24 Film Side of the Neiv Fearless Camera. One of the outstanding features of this newcomer among professional cameras is the fact that it can be converted from a standard 35 mm. camera to one using 65 mm. film in less than ten minutes. Fig. 25 Fearless Camera, showing method of attaching synchronous motor. The mechanism of this camera is enclosed in a sound-proof and oilproof box, and runs in a bath of oil. The oil is further supplied to all bearings by a pressure system. This is said to make it one of the mor' noiseless cameras yet developed. Fig. 26 The Akeley Camera. A unique camera built for use with rapidly moving subjects. It is the only cinema camera made to use a focalplane shutter. Through its unique ayro-tripod head it is enabled to follow objects moving at any speed with perfect smoothness and accuracy; the object is followed as to focus and alignment by means of a matched lens and a magnifying focussing-tube.
