HERBERT & HUESGEN CO. ;6 Fourth Avenue IS EAST 42nd STL NEW YORK, N. Y. THt C TOURIST MULTIPLE CAMERA AND PROJECTION LANTERN * I ’HE Tourist Multiple Camera and Projection Lantern A are tke first real and practical exponents of twentieth- century photography. Togetker they form a new, novel and most efficient pkotograpkic equipment of great origi- na ity in design, of tke very kigkest grade tkrougkout, and of remarkable compactness in size, capacity in service, and convenience in use. In placing tkese instruments upon tke market, it is tke purpose of tke manufacturers to open to tke public a field in pkotograpky tkat keretofore kas been largely overlooked and neglected because of its difficulties and expense. In tke past, numerous cameras kave appeared, calculated to meet every purpose. All possessed merit and all were more or less adaptable ; but all, alike, bad very definite and quickly discovered limitations eitker in size, compactness or capacity. Tke old -faskioned ' magic lantern” kas been superseded by tke modern projecting lantern, and tkis instrument kas now become familiar to all in its world-wide employment of showing pictures of kome life and travel scenes on an enlarged scale by projecting tkem upon screens in parlors, ckurckes, small kalis, and elsewhere. But with tkese cameras and tkese lanterns there are drawbacks; in tke cameras, lack of capacity in number of exposures, tke neces- sity of carrying extra films or boxes of plates, with tke possibility of loss in transit and tke difficulty of determining tke order in which tke exposures were made after tke return kome; with tke lantern tke chief drawback is tke cost of Pictures Made by Tourist Multiple Camera (Exact Size) suitable lantern slides, which being of glass, fragile in their nature and of great weight, are objectionable to employ when many slides are to be carried about. Since the projection lantern has reached its present state of perfection, motion picture photography has ad- vanced to the forefront of the photographic industry, and has taken its place as the most popular of all entertainments. But the cost of this branch of photography is so excessive that up to the present time it has not been possible to utilize it profitably ex- cept as it is handled by the large manu- Camera Open — Right Side Showing Operating Lever, Shaft and Feeding Fingers Lowered Camera Open — Right Side Showing Operating Lever, Shaft and Feeding Fingers Raised facturers of motion pictures representing scenes of international importance, photo- plays, dramas, etc., who lease their films to the great number of small theaters that are popularly called the ''movies.” The motion picture end of the photographic industry — as far as the amateur is concerned- can never be developed to any large extent because of the tremendous expense attending it. To fill in the vacant space between the regular camera and projection lantern, and the present great advancement in motion picture photography, the TOURIST MULTIPLE Camera Open — Right Side Showing Interior and Lens Fitting Camera has been designed, developed and per- fected. In it the manufacturers Have placed upon the market a camera easily carried in the pocket of an overcoat or hunting jacket, equipped with a high-grade lens, using the standard perforated motion picture film, taking seven hundred and fifty pictures without reloading, and making sep- arate, individual exposures. With such an appar- atus it is possible for the user to photographically record an entire trip, step by step, in perfect sequence, to pay no at- tention to development until the return home, and then be enabled by means of a film posi- tive made from the film negative to throw these pictures up to any size from two to ten feet, in the home, church or other place, with the special PROJECTION Lantern, without Board Centered Front Board Raised the trouble and ex- pense of making lantern slides, and with the positive assurance that the correct sequence of the views shown is and must re- main permanently unaltered. The Tourist Multiple Camera is ideally adapted to the needs of tourists, travelers, scientists, explorers, surveyors, engineers, architects, and others. It is constructed of metal throughout, is practically watertight and damp-proof, and is unaffected by climatic changes. The lens equipment of this camera is exactly the same as that used by professional operators of motion picture cameras, being the highest grade astigmats, having the great speed of f2.5 and Front Board Lowered r ABODE F EE DD CC BB AA V U T E S R TOURIST MULTIPLE CAMERA ZOdI NAMES OF PARTS A -Upper Film Magazine Q — Cover for Upper Magazine B -Wooden Core R -Lock Nuts for Magazine Covers C — Film Shaft S — Cover for Lower Magazine D -Unexposed Film T — Guide Frame for Film Feeding E -Fibre Guide Roller Shaft and Fingers K — Cduide Tube for Camera Locking LI — Spring Arm for Film Feeding Rod Shaft G -Velvet Racking H - Velvet Light Trap V — Tension Spring for Film Feeding Fingers W — Exposed Film I — Change Plate for “I" and “B” Exposures J — Shoulders of Film Guide Plate K -Pressure Frame, Open X — Film Fastening Pin Y — lake-Up Shaft with Friction L -Film in Position Z — Fibre Core M — Pressure Frame Latch AA — Lower Film Magazine N — Counter Box BB— Light Cut-Off O — Shaft Carrying Film Feeding CC — Connecting Rod Fingers DD — Inside Operating Crank P — Counter Operating Lever EE Main Operating Shaft Interior — Left Side Showing Shutter Open Interior View, Showing Magazines and Pressure Frame Closed and being cap- able of taking snapshots in- doors an im- possibilitywith any other cam- era upon the market at the present time. The operation of the camera is practi- cally automatic. It is only necessary to move a lever up and down with one motion of the hand to set the shutter, wind the film and register the exposure number. It is possible with the Tourist Multiple Camera to make several pictures before the average camera can be made ready. Since this camera uses the standard motion picture film, it is possible to obtain film for it throughout the entire civilized world. In general construction the camera is simplicity itself, and any amateur can take the entire instrument apart and replace it without the least diffi culty.

The focussing of the lens is accomplished by means of a special focussing mount having a knurled ring that is turnable between gradations from infinity to two feet. (Each camera is exactly focussed and accurately marked for all distances as indicated by the lens with which it is equipped). The iris diaphragm is operated by a knurled barrel turning inside the focussing mount. The front carrying the lens and its mounting can be raised or lowered as required to alter the field of view. The finder is also attached to the lens front so as to move up and down with it, and the finder lens is marked with extra sighting lines for use in the upper and lower positions. A feature of great value in this camera is the character and location of the finder, which is of the direct vision type, placed centrally on the left side of the instrument (the top when upright pictures are being taken ). Thus all exposures are made at the height of the eye, and all pictures are shown in their true perspective. The shutter is of the drop type similar in action to the focal plane variety and moves downward in making an exposure, its opening being the full size of the picture made; namely, 15/ iths of an inch long by 3/4ths of an inch wide. The shutter speeds may be varied from i/4oth to i/ 2ooth of a second, the speed being regulated by a knurled button on the outside of the camera and located below the operating lever. The shutter release is actuated by a small button inserted in the change plate- above the operating lever. This change plate may be set by sliding up for “I” (instantaneous) or down for “B” (b U lb) exposures as may be desired, and carries a fixture to which an ordinary antinous release may be attached. The use of the antinous release makes the taking of so-called “bulb’ exposures very easy and convenient. The Tourist Multiple Camera may be ob- tained equipped, as individual preference may require, with either a Steinheil Triplar f2.5, Bausch & Lomb Zeiss Tessar f 3.5, or Goerz Hypar f 3.5. All of these lenses have been found perfectly adapted to this camera after a series of exhaustive tests. They have been especially designed to meet the highest requirements of Front — Showing Lens Capped and Finder Closed Front —Showing Cap Removed and Finder Open advanced motion picture photography, and their very superior correction enable the user to obtain photographs having definition of microscopic sharpness over the entire field of view. With a lens of the short focus -two inches — that is supplied with the TOURIST MULTIPLE Camera, focussing is unnecessary for all ordinary scenes, owing to the extreme depth of definition obtainable with the lenses supplied. Their elements of focal length, speed and optical correction are so perfect that most satisfactory individual exposures can be made under extremely unfavorable conditions. Contact prints can be made from the negatives, anc out material loss of sharpness; or by means can be shown life size or even larger. The Projection Lantern, which accompanies the TOURIST MULTIPLE Camera and completes this unique photographic equipment, is entirely new in design, handsome in pattern and finish, solidly constructed, and very compact. It is light in weight, and therefore easily transported, and is fitted into a neat carrying case. The base is of polished hard wood, at the rear end of which is a metal track along which the lamp may be slid forward or back. At the front end of the base board is an upright metal post carrying the film box at its top on a hori- zontal shaft, and a quadrant which permits the turning of the box through ninety degrees to allow of the projection of either oblong or upright pictures in their correct positions. The light source is a small enlargements up to 8 x io inches with- f the Projection Lantern, pictures CEMENT MIXER — Half-tone plate made from enlargement and contact print at same time, exact size, no reduction, showing the wonderful definition of the lenses used in these cameras electric arc, and the lamp is equipped with rkeostat, switch, a sufficient len gtk of insulated cable and a plug for attacking to ordinary electric ligkt fixtures. At tke back of tke lantern is a tkumb roll for feeding and adjusting tke carbons. Above tke carbon holders, at tke center of tke back of tke lantern, is a peep kole, pro- tected by deep red glass, for observing tke arc ligkt during adjustment. In tke front of tke lantern is fixed a double plano-convex condensing lens of high power, with a rectangular opening. At tke lower part of tke lantern, on either side, are wooden buttons to be used in moving tke lamp forward or back as may be required. Tke fil m box, in which is placed tke positive film for projection, is nearly identical with tke camera in its interior construction. There are upper and lower magazines, operating lever, shaft with film feeding fingers, shutter and shutter release. Tke exterior operating lever is a plunger that projects above tke top of tke fil m box, and tke shutter release is a latch that operates by moving a finger piece on top of tke same box. Tke front of tke film box is fitted with a high- grade projection lens in a focussing barrel which may be racked in or out for exact PROJECTION LANTERN, RHEOSTAT AND ELECTRIC WIRES (Film Operating Box Vertical) (For Oblong Pictures) PROJECTION LANTERN, RHEOSTAT AND ELECTRIC WIRES (Film Operating Box Horizontal) (For Upright Pictures) focussing by means of a thumb roll located directly below it. The top, bottom, rear and left side of the film box constitute the cover, which is held in place by two buttons and two hasps. When the cover is removed the entire interior of the film box is readily accessible and the positive film is inserted in exactly the same manner as that described for placing the negative f lm in the camera. Care should be taken in placing the f lm in the upper magazine to have the pictures upside down and the picture side of the flm toward the front (lens) end of the flm box. One feature of this PROJECTION LANTERN deserves a special paragraph. Those accustomed to motion picture projection lanterns will not understand how a station- ary flm positive of motion picture size can be exhibited in an electric projection lantern without being instantly set fre to by the heat of the arc. The ignition of a flm in this lantern is impossible except by deliberate intent. The reasons are simple and scientifc. In the motion picture projection lantern the light, and the heat as well, are both focussed on the flm, but as each view remains stationary only i/i6th of a second, there is insufficient time to set fre to it. Should the flm stop from any cause, the lantern must be instantly removed. In the special Projection Lantern accompanying the Tourist Multiple Camera the focal point for light and heat is an inch or more in front of the plane of the ex- posed film and the latter is not heated to any serious degree. In the experience of the manufacturers no film has ever been set on fire with this lantern, and no fears need be entertained from this source. As an additional precaution, however, a spring-actuated sliding door, which operates as a light and heat trap, is provided at the rear o f the fil m box, being held open by a short projecting pin resting upon the condensing lens barrel when the lantern is in use, and closing instantly and automatically when the lantern is withdrawn. USES OF THE TOURIST MULTIPLE CAMERA Because of its great compactness, enormous capacity and simplicity of manipula- tion, the TOURIST Multiple Camera is adaptable to almost unlimited service. It will take the pictures of an entire summer, of a complete European tour, of a voyage around the world, of vacation trips to the tropics or the Arctic regions, or extended journeyings in any part of the world. For professional travelers and lecturers, for explorers, and for those engaged in nature research of all kinds, it is invaluable. It is so small that it takes up scarcely any room in one’s baggage; its weight makes very little added load; it is always ready; it is exceedingly simple to operate; and the whole matter of developing and printing can safely be left until the return home. In connection with the special PROJECTION LANTERN provided as part of the equipment, positives for projection can be made at very little trouble and with but slight expense when compared with the cost of the ordinary lantern slides which are used in illustrated lectures. For projection purposes roll film positives are so far ahead of lantern slides as to need no argument. They are very much less costly; they are unbreakable; changing to the next picture is automatic; and the presentation of the pictures in the wrong sequence is impossible.
