| Description: |
| This will make an excellent unique addition to your collection. An original WW2 era “Rokuoh-Sha” machine gun movie camera used for training purposes. These cameras would be mounted in airplanes instead of the real thing as a way to train new gunners. When the trigger is pressed, the camera would begin snapping 18x24mm pictures on 35mm cine film loaded in 2.5m strips. The photos captured whatever the "gun" was aimed at, while an optical stopwatch (placed in the yellow tube up top) was recorded onto the photos using a prism. These images would be examined later to help improve the gunner's accuracy. The movie camera device is in excellent condition, and comes with the original compartmentalized storage chest with many accessories. The chest is painted gray and has a matching serial number stenciled on top of the lid along with Japanese characters. The box contains a C clamp type mount, an extra trigger assembly, a target ring rear sight and post front sight, a small glass bottle, empty, and assumed to be for lens cleaning, 4 small canisters with film cartridges inside, one other film cartridges and a remote cable. The tools (2 screwdrivers and a crescent wrench) are newer additions added to fill the spots for the original tools. The clasp assembly for the lid has been removed and is in the chest. Original manual and other documents are included. Two of the four small screws which hold the dome in place at the front as well as the stop watch are missing., s/n 74xx |
