Kodak Electric 8 cine camera

Dad must have taken this US-manufactured model into stock in the shop, but failed to sell it. I remember him trying it out in summer 1963 - the results were a bit disappointing for a camera with quite a good spec for the time. The standard 8 film was loaded into the cassette for ease of loading and turning at the half-way point; there are 2 cassettes, allowing a spare film to be carried, ready to go. This must have been one of Kodak's final standard 8 models, before the release of the much more popular Super 8 format in 1965. The price label, in Dad's handwriting, says £36/12/5.
