| Dimensions | 8 1/2" x 6" x 3" |
| Weight | Approximately 5 1/2 lbs (without lenses) |
| Outer Case | Highly polished duraluminium body, covered in genuine Morocco leather. Metal parts are chrome-plated |
| Film Capacity | 100ft (30m) and 50ft (15m) daylight loading spools of 16mm film |
| Threading | Automatic threading and loop forming. The end of the film is simply placed in a channel leading to the feed sprocket. The release is pressed and the film is then automatically threaded throughout the entire mechanism |
| Motor | Constant speed, spring motor mechanism; governor controlled. Large winding handle folds downward and attaches to camera when not in use. Spring cannot be over-wound. 8:1 external drive shaft permits the attachment of an electric motor |
| Turret | Rotating turret accommodates three interchangeable C mount lenses. The top position allows for critical focusing through a groundglass screen on later versions of this model |
| Viewfinder | Accessory Tri Focal viewfinder gives an exact viewing field for lenses of 3 focal lengths. Later versions of this model had a built-in critical focus viewer with optional cupped eyepiece |
| Variable Speed | 8, 16, 24, 32 and 64 frames per second with the ability to change speeds while the camera is running |
| Release Button | Provides for the making of continuous exposures by a finger-tip release on the front of the camera. A side release allows for locked, hands-free running or single frame exposures |
| Footage Counter | Adds and subtracts accurately in forward or reverse motion and automatically returns to zero when film is reloaded into the camera |
| Audible Footage Indicator | A distinct click announces the passing of each 10 inches of film through the gate. This mechanism may be disengaged, if desired, by simply moving a lever |
| Frame Counter | An accessory frame counter could be attached to the motor crank shaft. Two separate counters registered increments of single frames and 50 frames as the film progressed |
| Single Frame | Time lapse and animation is possible by using the side release button or an accessory cable release and adapter; I-T lever allows for timed or instantaneous single exposures |
| Manual Rewind | Clutch disengages spring motor and permits forward movement and backwind without running down the spring; allows for dissolves and superimposition |
| Tripod Socket | 3/8" thread |
