8mm perforator

Post by camera8mm »

Came across this perforator. Auction ended. Looks homemade or would anyone know who manufactured this?

Not at all homemade, that’s a Bell & Howell perforator. These devices run at about 20 strokes per second. Basically it’s a 16mm one, only the tooling is different. Patented in 1917, never surpassed until today
