A Pair of camera movements.

1900 and 1909

Price on request



The Williamson's first started in the industry around 1897 when they collaborated with a machinist and engineer Alfred Darling on the design of one of the earliest of all professional movie cameras.

 


The Williamson movement is one of the earliest, in fact so early that is listed in the patent text as a movement for Kinematograph.  The heading on the patent application is for "Improvements in Apparatus for Imparting a Positive Intermittent Traveling Motion to Cinematograph Films." The photographs below are the original patent drawing  from the application in 1908 and the finished 'real' product.
