Winterizing Cine Cameras Eastman Kodak Company brings much valuable information for the cine cam- eraist in a new booklet of? the press this month titled “Wintertime Picture Mak¬ ing,” available at your camera store for 25 cents. “If you are going to be taking pictures at sub-zero temperatures for a number of months, and know that you will not be using your camera indoors during this period, you should consider having your camera winterized,” the booklet points out. “When you winterize your car, you remove the summer oils and greases and put in some which will flow readily at low temperatures. “In winterizing your camera, about the same is done except that, for very low temperatures, no lubricant is put in at all. Winterizing a camera requires complete dismantling and overhauling and is, therefore, a rather expensive service. However, some camera manufac¬ turers will do this job for you if you find it is really necessary. You should bear in mind, however, that you cannot take pic¬ tures indoors or in warm weather with a winterized camera without damaging it and that you must, therefore, have the camera overhauled again and de-winter- ized before you use it to take pictures at normal temperatures.” The booklet cautions camera owners that under no circumstances should they try to oil their camera if it sticks in cold weather. Even one drop of oil or solvent working its way through the mechanism of the camera may cause the camera to stop altogether. The booklet further explains how you can find out if your camera will operate satisfactorily in sub-zero weather by pre¬ testing it in a frozen-food locker. no VOLT AC/DC VARIABLE SPEED MOTOR with TACHOMETER for C.
