Fig. 3-7. The Bell & Howell Specialist 16 mm camera, with
three-lens turret, synchronous motor for 110 volts, 60 cycles,
400-foot magazine, and sunshade.
Figure 3-7 is the cream of the Bell & Howell 16 mm crop.
This is the Specialist Camera. It is very similar in body appearance
to the Eyemo; in fact, all the Bell & Howell cameras are
is mounted
somewhat similar in bodywork. The 400-foot magazine
vertically at the rear, and the motor drive electric is just in
front of it. This motor is interchangeable and may be synchronized,
110-volt, 12-volt, or any other voltage "wild" motor. Four
lenses are mounted on the turret, and a lens shade is in front of
them supported on a slide arm. An automatic parallax-correcting
view finder is mounted on the far side.
