- Description
- A large, heavy 16mm Cine Projector incased within a black leather case, missing the reel arms and reels. The case features a lid with a black covered wood handle and two latches on the slimmer ends. Once unattached the interior of lid features a black cardboard label with white writing that reads “The Sole Canadian Distributor of this VICTOR SOUND ON FILM PROJECTOR is GENERAL FILMS LIMITED” then a horizontal list of Canadian cities of where offices are, where one would be able to get minor repairs and adjustment or service. Underneath the lid, the projector remains mostly concealed with a few cut-outs in the top where we can see parts of the projector such as the lights, a space where the reel arms would attach, the top of the fan, and another latch in the middle. Once the latch is open the one side of the case folds out. Once this is open the main body of the projector is revealed. There is various switches, projector lens, the track for the film reel, and the animatophone (for sound). Along the body of the projector fan is a metal label with gold writing and border, on the top is the Victor Logo ( a circle with a scroll above it), the text underneath reads “16mm CINE’ PROJECTOR”, in fine text “FOR USE WITH SLOW-BURNING ONLY”, in slightly larger text “Made in U.S.A. by VICTOR ANIMATOGRAPH CORPORATION DAVENPORT, IOWA”, “100 TO 120 VOLTS”, a gold rectangle stamped with “950” “WATTS”, “SERIAL NUMBER”, a gold rectangle stamped “116230”, “LAMP WATTAGE”, a gold rectangle stamped “750” “MAX.”, “MODEL”, and a gold rectangle stamped “40”. The three switches read “OFF REWIND”, “OFF PROJECT”, and “SILENT SPEED SOUND SPEED”. On the slimmer ends of the case, there are cut-outs for access to controls and plug-ins. The side where the projection would project has one spot for “P.E.C. VOLTAGE”, a knob for the “MICROPHONE”, a plug-in for “MICROPHONE”, and another plug-in for “PHONO”. On the opposite end, is a switch “OFF EXCITER”, two knobs “VOLUME” and “TONE”, a small protruding box with indecipherable text, a circular power cord to be plugged in, and two slots. Inside the case, is three pieces of instructional papers. One is an operation and care of manual, another a maintenance record template and information, and an operating instructions for the projector.

- Showslide transition box used during slide shows to seamlessly transition between slides, eliminating the standard black screen as slides reset. The Showslide box has one grey plastic power cord and two black plastic cords that plug into two slide projectors coming out of the back, as well as two power outlets that serve an unknown purpose. The front of the box includes the power switch, a signal lamp, a plug for a tape recorder [according to the instruction manual, the Showslide box can also be used to play taped slideshows that have pre-recorded custom transitions], and the plug for the hand control remote - the remote has a small metal switch that goes between “PLAY” and “RECORD,” a black plastic knob that slides up and down the length of the remote [possibly the trigger to switch between the two projectors], and a yellow plastic button with an embedded red light that is labeled “FLIP.” Also accompanying the box are two instruction manuals, the larger of which has several hand-written notes on the front and back.

- Portable RCA [Radio Corporation of America] Model 400 16mm Sound Film Projector. It is surrounded in a case, with a perforated metal square on one side of the case and blue plastic and metal handle at the top, alongside a metal plate with text that reads “16mm SOUND FILM PROJECTOR” “MODEL 400” and some more text about the projector itself. On both short sides are metal clasps that hold the case cover in place and on the bottom are four rubber feet to keep the projector off the table. The main bulk of the projector consists of blue metal divided into various parts where the motor is and the exposed mounting mechanism where the reels sit. Throughout the face are various black plastic and metal switches and knobs to control the projector. The power cord is stored underneath the main bulk in a store of shelf. Inside the removable cover is a ho-to diagram of how to thread and rewind the film reels. Underneath is a how-to to store a reel and the arms inside the case. The arms are secured in two metal brackets and leather straps. This side of the case is also where the speaker is housed - in the bottom left corner. There is also a small bottle of oil for the projector set in the case. The reel that is stored in this section is smaller and has the speaker/microphone cord wrapped around it.

- A black, heavy, cast iron-like Apollo Sound 16mm film projector. It has a unique shape with an art deco type styling. One side of the projector features a switch and silver metal knobs where the tightly coiled spring would be placed to move the film. There is a label with instruction but is illegible due to wear, herringbone-shaped cut-outs below that expose some of the mechanisms of the projector, next to these cut-outs is where the power cord connects to the projector, and towards the front of the projector is another cord that becomes wire that is wrapped around a smaller spool. Along the back side, in raised letters, text reads “APOLLO [vertical] SOUND [horizontal]”. On the very back of the projector are two switches and a black knob that props the back of the projector up slightly. The other side of the projector is the same raised text that reads “APOLLO [vertical] SOUND [horizontal]” near the back, and there is also a a sloped pattern cut-out near the bottom that exposes the fan of the projector. This side features the main part of the projector with the lens, reels, and the track for the film. The top of the projector features a handle-like design.

The lower compartment contains the main power outlet (there is a secondary power cord that connects the projector to the base) and possibly provides ventilation. The upper projector has “Leitz” written in silver cursive on the side and the base has a metal tag attached to the middle of the back panel that indicates that part may have been made in New York. The projector is open at the top to allow access to the interior lenses and socket for the lightbulb. There is also an additional lens housed inside a hollow rectangular metal box that can be inserted into the opening to further focus the light through the lens. The exterior lens itself also has 2 (two) metal rods that stick out perpendicular to the box onto which additional focussing lenses and the slide holders can be attached. In addition to the projector boxes there are also 2 (two) metal attachments that look like they slide onto the metal rods (possibly housing for additional lenses), 2 (two) silver metal slide holders that can house 2 (two) slides at once (one has a copper plate that can slide down to cover the opening where light passes through), 2 (two) “General Electric Projection Lamp” lightbulbs in their boxes, a black Leitz-Hektor zoom lens, an extra lens in a cardboard box with “Ubiku für Objoktiv 16.5-12-13.5 cm” stamped on the lid, and 2 (two) instruction manuals for the projector.

The lamp has a bell-shaped base and a wick wheel engraved with the manufacturer name: “WIENER FLACHBRENNER”. There is a wick that moves when the wheel is turned. The wooden base is painted red on top, with black sides. The bottom of the base is natural wood, and has a stamp reading: “NICHOLAS MORANT”; “BANFF, ALBERTA”; “CANADA”. (b) a cover for the lamp that is open on top to allow smoke to escape; it also has a scope with a lens, and can be placed on top the lamp. The scope component sits in the round part of the metal stand. There likely would have been a component between where the scope connects to the lamp cover, that would allow for slides to be placed for projecting. The cover for the lamp is cylindrical, and narrows towards the top.
