June, 1929 The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER Eleven Bell & Howell precision and accuracy have silenced the camera mechanism! BELL & HOWELL engineering has produced cameras for sound work with all mechanical noises eliminated. Fiber gears — solid bronze bearings — sound'absorbingfelt linings — the removal of all lost motion — these are the factors in this important development. Sound 'Proof Magazines with endless fabric belts and silent belt tighteners also contribute to the perfection of oper' ation that permits such equipment to be placed within eight or ten feet of the microphone without requiring a camera booth! Holes drilled in the back and cover of the magazine drums to interrupt sound waves, and the outside covering of sponge rubber indicate the thoroughness of the engineering that has made such a devel' opment possible. Consultations are invited on Sound Recording Installations. Above: B. &• H. 100-ft.
