customary types. As indicated in figure 1, the film, in a removable cassette, is
passing through the camera in the form of a loop. By means of a spherical plate
it is pressed in the required radius of curvature. During transport of the film this
plate is lifted.
The shutter is a focal plane shutter, executed in the form of an endless band
around the filmloop, provided with a slit. The movement of the film transport is
coupled with the winding of the shutter spring, the whole assembly being operated
by remote control. The motor-driven mechanism can be set to make single photo
graphs as well as series of photographs, with a continuous variable speed up to
ten pictures per second.
