Motors
The 8 Volt VARIABLE SPEED MOTOR
is generally standard equipment for
16S/B. All motors are interchangeable.
By simply opening lock lever (24), the
motor may be pulled out of the camera
housing and replaced with any other
motor such as -GOVERNOR
CONTROLLED CONSTANT SPEED
MOTOR, 110V 60 HZ SYNCHRONOUS
MOTOR, ANIMATION MOTOR and
UNIVERSAL CRYSTAL CONTROLLED
MOTOR. When mounting a motor, care
must be taken to line up the locating pin
with the keyway in the camera and to
insert the motor, all the way into the
motor cavity to insure proper electrical
contact.
Variable Speed Motors
By turning ribbed motor housing, a rheostat is actuated to regulate the speed of
the motor. The figures around the motor shell are arbitrary, however, after some
experience, they permit the operator to reset the camera quickly for any desired
speed. (With, a full charged 8
Volt battery the rheostat will be set between 3 and
4 to give 24 fps.
A knurled disc (see Illustration) marked
"R"-"F" is located at the back of the
variable speed motor. When turned all
the way to "F" (click stop), the camera
will run Forward; turned to "R" (click-
stop), the camera will run in Reverse.
When using a magazine, both, camera
motor and magazine torque motor,
must be set to run in the same
direction, i.e. BOTH forward or BOTH
reverse!
The inching knob (27) in the center of the motor is used to turn the shutter and
actuate the registration pin and film transport claw during the film loading
operation.
Constant Speed Motor
The constant speed motor is used when only
one single camera speed
(24/25Fps) is required. In size and shape similar to the variable motor, the
constant speed motor uses a centrifugal switch (governor) to keep the motor
speed accurate within 1% under varying load and power conditions. The motor
runs forward only and requires an 8V DC power source.
