THE AEROSCOPE
The 'Aeroscope', one of the first cine
cameras, was exhibited at the meeting,
and is illustrated here.
The machine, which was operated by
compressed air, was designed and
patented in 1910 by Kazimierz
Proszynski, who even then was a great
believer in the potentialities of the film
for education.
The camera was portable and carried
enough film for ten to fifteen minutes
continuous shooting. Compared with
modern streamlined equipment it is bulky and awkward, but its manufacture was an important step
forward in the development of the cine camera, and its efficiency was demonstrated by the results
obtained by the naturalist Cherry Kearton who took films with it in America and Africa.
