Fig. 3-6. The Bell & Howell Eyemo 35 mm spring-driven
The Bell & Howell Series Figure 3-6 illustrates the Eyemo
Camera for 35 mm film. This is driven by a spring motor and is
used considerably by professional newsreel cameramen for action
shots and special events where synchronized sound is not required
and a-c mains are not available.
The actual camera mechanism appears to be very small com-
pared with the magazine
and lens turret. The smaller three-lens
turret on the right is the view-finder turret, and the corresponding
objective lens is selected for each film lens. Note how large the
35 mm lenses are compared to 1 6 mm lenses.
