Function
Used to secure hand crank to cine camera.
Technical
The Bill Mason collection consists of typical cameras and other equipment in the 16 mm format widely used by documentary film makers in Canada in this period. Introduced in 1933, the Ciné-Kodak Special was initially intended for advanced amateurs but it quickly became popular among professionals who made films for non-cinematic audiences. Among its advanced features were a reflex viewfinder for framing and focusing (not operable when filming), an adjustable rotary shutter to execute fades, an eight-frame film crank to facilitate multiple exposures and dissolves, and a single-frame film advance for animation and time-lapse photography. The camera also came with a set of masks that could be inserted between the lens and the film plane to produce simple special effects like split screen and vignetting. The Ciné Special was equipped with 100-foot film magazines that could be changed at any time, and its two-lens turret allowed easy changes in focal length for different shots. The main criticisms of the Ciné Special were potential shifting in the frame line after switching from one magazine to another and inconsistency in the film plane when operating at high speeds. For all its versatility, the Ciné Special was also rugged and reliable. Although its spring motor could run barely one minute on a single winding, it was not dependent on batteries, and the absence of electrical parts was an asset when working around and on the water. The Ciné Special was used extensively during World War II for training films and combat cinematography. In 1948 Eastman Kodak discontinued production of the Ciné Special and introduced the similarly designed Ciné-Kodak Special II (1948-1961). As is evident from the career of Bill Mason, however, second-hand Ciné Specials remained in widespread use for decades. Kodak’s Ektar cine lenses were excellent, and Mason used them extensively, even on his non-Kodak cameras where a special C-mount adaptor was required. [Ref. 1]
