9.5MM
EQUIPMENT CATALOGUE
(non Pathescope
apparatus)
|

The following exhausting! but probably not exhaustive list of
9.5mm equipment doesn't include items from Pathé or Pathéscope
which are catalogued separately. One-offs, privately made, or
conversions, are not included.
Where you see a blue underlined hyperlink, click on it for
illustration. Return to listing by clicking on 'back'.
If you know of other 9.5mm cameras or projectors an e-mail
with details would be appreciated!
Grahame Newnham at:- presto
@ pathefilm.freeserve.co.uk (remove the spaces for correct
e-mail address)
All cine cameras listed were clockwork driven unless
otherwise stated. Most projectors took 120metre/400foot spools
unless otherwise stated. Inclusion in this list doesn't mean
items were on sale in the UK.
Many if not all of the companies produced cine equipment in other
gauges but only 9.5mm items are listed here.
The company names & addresses detailed in these lists applied
when they were trading; few, if any exist today.
Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures - when time
permits they may be improved!
(Where an entry begins with an asterix * it signifies I have an
example in my collection)
Dates are only approximate and have usually come from magazine
adverts, reviews, trade announcements etc.

tin-can! Sold by Gamages for £1.38!
charger loading for filming, 30ft cassettes for projection. Lens
has two waterhouse stops - 'film'/'project'.
A label in the lid proclaims "British Patent No. 368444 -
Patented throughout the World". Seems the Screenus company
failed soon after the camera/projector arrived, so another
company bought the parts and continued assembly, minus the
'Screenus' name - mine is one of these. They are pretty rare.
Trevor Adams from NZ tells us that the sales line was "From
Scene to Screen in one Machine" - pity the copy writer
didn't design the machine!
