KALEE NP3 Silent PROJECTOR
Title
KALEE NP3 Silent PROJECTOR
Description
A Kalee incursion into non-standard 16mm this projector has similarities with the American VICTOR. The picture gate is out of line with the feed and take up spools allowing the use of a single sprocket and thus allowing direct light. This slight twisting of the loops was beneficial to the side tension of the film in the gate. A pre-heated 500watt lamp avoided surge of energy through a cold lamp on switch-on. It has a fast pull mechanism and a three-bladed shutter. Rewinding is done via extended spindles which allowed a rewind to be done another reel was being projected. The NP3 had a short production life however probably due to Kalee's 35mm activities.
