It's the 1967 Mitchell Camera Company 30-page Mitchell 35mm BNC User Manual,
for operating and servicing your MITCHELL 35mm BNC motion picture camera.
"BNC" means "Blimped Newsreel Camera." Its quiet mechanism
and soundproof cover make it quiet enough to record dialogue for big
Hollywood 35mm 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 studio movie camera, ever.
As the slogan went:
"85% of all Hollywood Motion Pictures
are shot with a MITCHELL!"
Well this is the Mitchell BNC "BIBLE,"
practically a film school in a book).
It's got
Detailed Descriptions
