A TITLER AMONE CAN BUILD
Answering Amateurs' Demand For Plans For A Simple Home Made Titler
By VAN B
you want a titler that will turn out good titles; if your title needs do not include fancy trick effects; you can build it yourself — tonight, after dinner, in less than an hour if you are handy with saw and hammer. The plans on this page include all the basic elements of any titler: a base on which to mount the camera, an auxiliary lens and holder, and title board. It is designed for typewritten or hand-lettered title cards — the simplest for the average amateur to make.
Materials necessary to build this beginner's title usually may be found

around one's workshop, or can be purchased at small cost from a lumber yard. The only item that will have to be secured elsewhere is the auxiliary lens. Actual title area is 2%" by 3 although the title board provides for use of title cards up to 5" by 7" in size. Distance from title card to camera lens is exactly 8 inches. Overall length of titler is 16 inches.
List of necessary materials follows: A Baseboard of pine or ply
wood 7" by 16" B Piece of pine 1" by 7"
C Piece of %" pine 5" by 7" D Piece of half-inch plywood 2I/2" wide. (Height to be determined by camera measurements as described later.) E Pine block V4" by 1" by 2^2" F y4" No. 20 wing screw 1" long,
and washer G Pine block by 1" by 3" One 5 diopter auxiliary lens Necessary screws and nails, etc.
The make and model of camera to be used with titler will determine dimensions of parts C and D and the hole to be cut in part D, according to position of the camera lens. Before making this part, measure with a ruler the distance between base of camera and center of camera lens. (Or see table that follows.)
