    Description

    This is a vintage original antique c.1924 manual for operating the Powers Cameragraph No. 6 B movie theater projector issued by the manufacturer of these projectors, the Nichols Power Company of 88-90 Gold Street in New York City.   This manual is a small pocket reference format of 118 pages plus several blank memorandum pages at the end in the original leatherette hardcover binding measuring about 5.25” x 3.25”.   The title page read:
    HINTS TO PROJECTIONISTS Compiled By Will C. Smith – Nicholas Power Co., 88-90 Gold Street, New York
    The frontispiece has an illustration of the Power’s Cameragraph No. 6B With Motor Drive and there are other drawings and illustrations related to these Cameragaph movie theater projectors.    The text makes reference to the Power’s Cameragraph 6A and 6B models.
    This booklet isn’t dated but mentions that the Power’s Cameragaph had been “…used throughout the trade for more than 20 years”.  I find information indicating these Cameragraph projectors were first patented in 1904 so I’d date this manual to around 1924 or so.
    This manual is a vintage original fully complete and intact with some toning and moderate wear.  Overall condition is very good.  Email any questions.  Thanks for looking.
