By means of the frame speed control A , the camera speed can be varied from eight frames to sixty-four frames per second, when driven by the spring motor. B is the spring motor crank. The camera runs forty feet of film at one spring winding. A warning bell signals when the spring is nearly tight and again when it is nearly run down. C is an eight-frame hand crank or electric motor drive shaft. If it is desired to run more than forty feet of film without interruption, an over
