Robert Paul Experimental 35mm motion picture projector (model)

- In late 1895 British film pioneer Robert Paul was working on his first 35mm film projector. It probably used a 7-arm cross, electric arc lamp, crank wheel, and had no take-up system. This is an approximate model of what he was experimenting with, which I put together with materials and bits of machinery that I had to hand. After making this video I managed to improve the focus somewhat (the film was flapping about in the primitive gate) and the machine was used for a forthcoming BBC tv documentary. Note that the cross that I used has only 5 arms (not the 7 that RWP used), but this was the closest I could get. Five-arm crosses were used in the 1890s in German projectors. 7-arm crosses were never adopted by the industry, being used for a short period by Paul until he devised a 3-arm cross system. One of Paul's 1896 projectors was purchased by Georges Melies, who converted the mechanism into a camera - his first.

To querendo comprar um projetor desse.
Hi, perhaps this is an odd request but I have a Charles Urban projector in need of a lamphouse, I don't suppose you'd consider selling the one seen in this video? Lamphouses of the size and shape used with Urban Bioscopes aren't easy to come by.
Hi, not an odd request - but sorry, I need that lamphouse.Good luck with your search. Stephen

@@horipet Okay, no worries then
Sir can we get the maltase cross
Are there any models of 9.5 mm projectors that are common and relatively cheap (under 200) that you know of?
The Pathescope 200B is one of the most popular - sensible design, tends to keep going. Ideally needs a lamp conversion, as do all vintage projectors. Also - the Pathescope Gem. Specto and Bolex are also good machines. All the above available on Ebay (UK). Harder to find suitable machines in USA. Expect to do some basic re-wiring.
