Twentieth Century Camera and Accessories

Although the new Twentieth Century camera was designed primarily to reduce noise, it also embodies many of those conveniences and devices which spell speed and aid in cost cutting. — The camera has been designed and built along new principles and, instead of trying to hold the noise in the camera case or the blimp, the noise has been reduced at its source. The fast-moving reciprocating parts are as light and as small as possible, and when assembled yield uniform acceleration and deceleration, with a resultant optimum movement of the film and a reduction in noise-making vibration. This, when coupled with a patented sound-insulating mount for the film-moving mechanism, reduces the noise output to a level substantially equivalent to the noise level of the best blimped camera available. Other features included in the camera are described in the paper.
