This is a Vctor Cine model 10 motion picture projector for 16 mm film. It was the companion to the Victor Cine camera in record 2021.009.0002. It was made by the Victor Animatograph Corp. of Davenport Iowa.
For years Victor struggled to get producers to adopt his standard. Separately, the Eastman Kodak Company had been working on a new 16mm safety film, which they announced in 1923. After this announcement, Victor immediately began designing a hand-cranked camera and projector to use this new film. In 1927, Victor launched this camera, the Model 3, which was spring-motor driven, along with a motorized projector. The educational, industrial, and religious film markets grew quickly as producers began to offer libraries of 16mm films. Victor developed more than 150 different cameras and projection devices, and applied for 86 patents during his 52-year career. He was also an original member of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, and was posthumously named to the Society of Motion Picture Engineers Honor Roll in 1964.Collection
