Technique

Auricon cameras are 16 mm single system sound-on-film motion picture cameras. Designed to be portable, the camera preceded ENG video cameras as the main AV tool of television news gathering. The first Auricon cameras are notable in that they record sound photographically onto a soundtrack on the same film as the image is photographed thus eliminating the need for a separate audio recorder. In the mid-1950s, Bach-Auricon introduced a patented “Filmagnetic” single system method of recording sound magnetically onto a specially “striped” film. This is the system used with the Bert Plimer camera. This camera is equipped with a Pierre Angénieux F12:120mm f/2,2 lens introduced around 1961. Angénieux received a 1964 technical award from the academy of motion pictures for the design of this lens (ref.2). The camera appears to incorporate a custom built amplifier and audio-control system that enabled the camera operator to adjust and monitor sound levels without the assistance of an audio technician. For comparison to other Trenka cameras, see 1987.0083 and 1995.1583. The camera is equipped with an optical viewfinder connected to a reflex shutter and is powered by custom built batteries, and a custom built battery charger is included with the acquisition.
