The Newman Sinclair 'mute' model G 35mm movie camera had a clockwork drive and used a pre-loaded film cassette. The camera was used by newsreel companies during the Second World War (the evacuation of Dunkirk etc) and the Korean War. Television used the camera to shoot programme inserts, documentaries and early tv news footage. The camera pictured is in untested working condition and could be used to shoot footage.
All metal pan head and tripod, (extended to 8 ft). First devised for use with the NS Model G 35mm clockwork movie camera. Later use with Auricon 16mm cameras on tv news.
