EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL CAMERA 79 Fig. 28 The Newman-Sinclair Automatic, Portable, 35mm. Auto-Kine Camera. (England.) This camera is of the spring motor type, being driven by two springs.

Motion picture mechanical engineering became an art in itself and research laboratories, mechanical manufacturing centers, and technical and engineering societies came into existence all contributing to the advancement of the motion picture art and to its establishment as a potential factor in the educational and entertainment fields of our social system. Editor's Note: Since Mr. Dubray's article was prepared the Fearless Camera Company has brought out a new camera, especially designed for making pictures on 6 5 millimeter film, and also designed so it may be used as a standard 35 millimeter camera. A complete description of this camera will be found in the special article on Wide Film.
