Bolex Paillard 'G3' Trifilm 9.5mm, 8mm and 16mm
Silent Projector of 1937. A top quality projector from the years just
before the Second World War. It cost £59 pounds 18/- shillings and 6d
pence - a small fortune in those days.
The 'G3' was of Swiss design and manufacture
throughout and it was made for amateur and school use. It was said
that, with its great light output, it could show a clear picture in
halls seating up to 3,000. Lenses are French made SOM Cinor. To aid the
projection of Standard 8mm a special offset design Taylor Hobson lens
was utilised. The G3 is fitted with twin condensers mounted on a
moveable plate which, when inserted either for 8mm or 9.5/16mm use,
displaces the lamp into the required new position for each mode of
projection. The "2-4 obt" mechanism is a refinement for adjusting for
either two, or four-bladed shutter. The advantage is to increase light
output and reduce flicker at silent film speeds.
The lamphouse incorporates a resistance knob
adjustment and ammeter dial to adjust light output. Included were
Paillard 400' ft. take-up reels and cans for all three film formats. The
film path incorporated chromium plated rollers and extra rollers and
spindles boxed when not in use. The projector mechanism and case had a
durable machine soft grey enamel finish. Gates were made of stainless
steel, while the film transport had a bright chromium finish. The take
up arms were geared and enclosed with no drive belts to replace. Forward and reverse.
Model G3 2 - 4 Obt. DC / AC; 0 - 60; 110 -125
Volts; 550 - 630 Watts. The G3 is wired to work with either alternating
or direct current without any alteration, on voltages from 110 to 250
volts on an ordinary 5 amp circuit. For operating on 250 volts, the
auxiliary resistance is inserted between the projector and the mains.
