either an ordinary house electric line or in the case of distant locations power is derived from three small "B" batteries. It is possible to run it on either direct or alternating 110-volt current. The motor weighs only two and three-quarter pounds but furnishes an abundance of power and is very steady in its operation. Speed control from eight frames per second to thirty frames per second is obtained from a calibrated rheostat with which the camera comes equipped.
In the case of difficult location work and power is being used from battery source it will be found convenient to sling the small "B" batteries in a light fiber case from shoulder straps, their weight of about seven or eight pounds is then practically unnoticeable. Slinging the complete camera from another shoulder strap divides the total weight of about twenty-five pounds into an evenly distributed load, leaving both hands free for progress through the woods or jungle as the case might be, yet at a moment's notice the operator has instant
accessibility and the flexibility desired. When it is wondered why batteries and electric motor are provided instead of a spring motor it must be remembered that with the electric motor one is not limited to the short length of scene that is the known limitation of the spring motor type of camera.

Fred Westerberg, author of that most helpful little book, "The Cinematographer's Book of Tables", announces that in November he will begin another series of tables to run indefinitely in The International Photographer.
The title of the table for November is "CAMERA SPEEDS," and the table will be so printed in the magazine as to be easily removed for filing in your little red book, "The Cinematographer's Book of Tables" — if you have one. If you have not a copy you'd better call on your dealer right away so that you may not fail to have one in your pocket when you need it.
This wonderful little book has become over night a necessity to the cameraman and is as much a part of his equipment as the camera itself. It is an amazing time saver.
And it's just as valuable for the 16mm. cameraman as it is for the professional.
IT COSTS ONLY $1.00 A COPY.
