jaapv Posted August 7, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 7, 2017 Could it be a device to show photographed documents on an overhead projector? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted August 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Like alan says - this is the illumination box for duplicating slides from a strip of (exposed and processed) film onto another roll of film. The top part contained the unexposed film - the original film strip ran between the spools above the opal-glass translucent plate light source. https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5537/30931547165_4b5b574f58_b.jpg Edited August 7, 2017 by adan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted August 8, 2017 Share #7 Posted August 8, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) When my school bought the pre-war Zeiss/Telefunken 35mm movie projection equipment from the ABC Regal Cinema in Edinburgh in the mid 1950's, there was a very similar device to the KOLOM came along with it but taking much larger cine sized reels on one part. We never really knew what it was for and therefore never managed to get it working. I wonder if the cinema had it to copy a short length of a black and white film that had been torn or burnt out from jamming in the gate, from a good copy of the film and then splicing it into the damaged reel. The state of the films we received from the rental house or the "Freebies" from companies like BP, Shell and ICI was never very good and breakages or jams were frequent, so the films often went back rather shorter than they arrived, with a number of splices. Eventually we gave up with the 35mm projector and went over to a Bell and Howell 16mm projector instead. The 35mm Zeiss projector, I am ashamed to say, went to the scrap yard. The school owned two complete 35mm films: "Western Approaches" and "Shane" After the 35mm projector went, we used the film as fire lighting material.
