Applications

Bell & Howell, Fairchild, and the other brands represented here were major manufacturers of professional and scientific motion picture cameras used extensively from the 1940s through the 1980s in cinematography, military reconnaissance, industrial, and scientific imaging applications. Bell & Howell produced a wide range of 16mm and 35mm cameras including the popular Filmo and 70 series. Fairchild was known for its aerial and reconnaissance cameras. Mitchell cameras were a Hollywood standard for decades. Locam and Hicam were high-speed scientific cameras used in research, ballistics, and engineering analysis. Parts lots of this type are actively sought by camera repair technicians, film equipment restorers, cinematography museums, and collectors working to maintain or restore vintage motion picture equipment that is increasingly difficult to source new parts for.
