The Model C Conversion Kit

Since the Bell & Howell Model C printer was put in operation more than a dozen years ago, technological advances have provided a potential for greater production and more effective controls. A kit has been designed for remodeling the Model C printer not only to run at high speeds but also to print forward as well as in reverse, with a reliable braking system for sudden stops. The printer can be set to any one of five different speeds, up to 600 ft/min (183 m/min). Three take-up torque motors have been added for the reverse printing operation. Other improvements are: a light valve checking device, a frame count cuing system and a new photoelectric tape reader. The kit components can be added to an existing printer without making any internal changes and without using a soldering iron.
