Description: This is the Orson Welles style model 240, the same that he used to film broll for his movies. It comes in a lockable case with key, one filter and wrist strap. The camera runs well. The Bell and Howell 240 was a 16mm film camera with automatic exposure control and a spring motor with a metal hand crank. The control barrel on the electric eye must be preset for the right film speed on the camera before filming. The outer scale of the Electric Eye shows the film speed from 10 to 50 Asa, while the camera frame rates varies from 8 to 48 frames per second. It is possible to operate the camera without using the automatic iris control and setting the iris manually. The camera uses two Mallory PX2 cells to power the iris control system, they most certainly need replacing. This camera is a sort of civilian development of a Military Gun Sight Aiming Point.
