Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Ontario
Period: 1950 - 2000
Canada: A Swiss made projector purchased in Canada and used by the donor to project his home movies. Circa 2000, he converted all the movies to CD and the projector became obsolete.
Function: To contain, store, and protect projector and accessories when not in use.
Technical: Bolex products were considered the "Mercedes of photographic equipment". This very stylish projector was a true design hit and a bestseller; 158,000 models M8 and M8R were produced in ten years. It had a streamlined housing at the rear, which covered the transmission for the take-up reel, and a small bright red start/stop button. The projector was furnished with a power outlet that could be used to feed a table lamp, which switched off automatically on projection; an automatic loop former for film protection; hinged lamp receptacle for quick changing; specially coated Ken-Paillard 20mm f/1.6 lens for a bigger and brighter picture; a 400 foot reel capacity; and a new colour-correcting condensing system (see Ref. 1 in Supp. Info.).
