Abstract
A concise history of one of the world's pioneer professional motion-picture camera makers, including a review of its products from 1920 to the present day. In addition to the company's standard 35-mm and 16-mm models, the discussion includes specialized models in the wide-film gauges of 55-mm, 65-mm, and 70-mm, as well as horizontal-travel 35-mm and multiple-panel 35-mm models. Also included are process projectors (front and rear screen), and less well known Mitchell products such as the 16-mm and 35-mm theater projectors and 8-mm and 16-mm amateur projectors. The concept and use of various types of Mitchell movements and their importance to the film industry are also covered.
