Bell & Howell Key Wind Filmo 70 A

 

..........
The Filmo 70 was introduced on market in 1923, but my movie camera, model "A", was produced on 16 march 1926: this date is inside. It is equipped with a lens Taylor-Hobson Cooke - Cinema Lens, 1 inch - f:3.5.
The housing is black, its weight is kg. 2,150 and the size 72x202x165 mm.
It is a historic camera: Bell&Howell was studying to introduce a 17,5mm film, but after Kodak introduced 16mm format, B&H thought to leave 17,5mm, and produced Filmo 70. This machine was lighter, smaller and clockworks-equipped camera on the market. It was a handy camera. The right side has the hole to wind it up, along with a tag that reads "Bell & Howell Company - Standard Cinemachinery". Also on the top you will notice the indicator to show how much film has been used, it is marked up to 100 feet. For 56 years the "70" model mechanism proved itself over and over again in numerous modified versions.
