THE SHOW WORLD April 24, 1909. An ILntirely New Invention In Motography McKinney Moving Picture Machine The building of a successful Moving Picture Machine re¬ quires the finest workmanship of anything mechani¬ cal except a watch. Our Electrically driven Machinery has been installed and our factory will soon be in running order. The McKinney Moving Picture Machine Operates without a Star Wheel and Cam, without Sprocket Holes, Loop or Revolving Shutter. Has an Automatic Rewind, which obviates the necessity of rewinding film, and Automatic Tension Spring Release, which relieves the strain on film. Steady as the Rock of Gibraltar, of simple construction and strongly built. Has only one shaft and contains only one-third the number of parts of any other machine on the market. The movement is six to one, while all others are only four to one, which makes the picture 33 1/3 per cent more brilliant, with less light. The Dissolving Shutter in¬ sures steadiness. This is an entirely new principle and produces an absolutely flickerless picture. The mechanism can be entirely taken out by removing two screws. Every part is accessible at a moment’s notice. The McKinney machine will be equipped with oil cups to all bearings, which will only require filling about every ten days.
