Fun Fact: This was the first camera in the Ottoman Empire that was used by the Manaki Brothers in today Bitola, Macedonia. There is an International Film Festival (World renown) every year to commemorate their tribute to the film industry with Hollywood stars visiting each year. So this is a REMARKABLE piece of history.
I have watched all of your videos more than once and it's good to see you again. So very well put Sam! I bet it was an earth moving event when seeing a movie for the first time. I wish I could feel what those people felt when seeing their first flicker show. Thanks as always
I wish you could find film on it so you could do something with it Man, I love the early days of silent film (and it went along so well when the cartoon industry started, look at the 20's Felix the Cat.
I have a 1898 Lubin Cineograph with attachments in the original wood crate.. I have not seen one in any of the collections in the internet and can't find much info or documentation. Do you know how many of these have survived?
what do you call the sleeve into which you insert the crank? where the three different positions (forward, reverse and single frame) common to machines from other manufacturers?

Amazing! You should upload pictures/a video.
Amazing! Where do you work to care for such historic cameras?

I'm not sure what they are called. They have to have a name though. I have always just called that part the crank shaft.
Awesome camera, thanks for your video.... If you have a sec. checkout my video of my 1957, Bolex H16, 16mm film cam...
Thanks again, Moses...
