Sturdy cardstock cover.
It's the 1961 Mitchell Camera Company 48-page Mitchell 35mm BNC Parts List Manual,
for repairing and maintaining your MITCHELL 35mm BNC motion picture camera.
"BNC" means "Blimped Newsreel Camera." Its soundproof cover
makes it quiet enough to record dialogue for 35mm newsreels and big
Hollywood feature movies.
The BNC's patented pin-registered film movement is among the finest ever built.
Hand-lapped gears and cams, and legendary precision.
Ever see a BIG Hollywood camera on a HUMONGOUS Chapman crane,
or atop a BIG Raby camera dolly? John Ford or Alfred Hitchcock or
Stanley Kubrick directing? "Dr. Strangelove," or "Rear Window,"
or "Fort Apache?" Chances are good the camera
on the crane was a Mitchell 35mm BNC!
364 BNCs were manufactured, (#1-365, there is no #13). Most are still working!
The BNC was built in the early sound era (1934), but I
think it was the best 35mm sound movie camera, ever.
As the slogan went:
"85% of all Hollywood Motion Pictures
are shot with a MITCHELL!"
To keep your Mitchell BNC in great running shape,
you need a great parts list to find, order, and machine new parts. A smart tech will have a good parts list in his file cabinet.
Here's the official 1961 Mitchell BNC Parts List Manual,
with detailed illustrations, cross-referenced by index numbers,
part numbers, nomenclature, and units per assembly.
See how it all fits together!
