Chronology of cameras Bell and Howell
This genuine American rarity seemed very promising on paper, but, as seen in the Wards catalog, its price was extremely high: $700, a considerable amount in 1949.
It is equipped with a mechanical motor capable of providing 10 to 15 shots before needing to be wound up again. However, there is a film advance button to move the film forward during loading or when the motor is not sufficiently wound.
The focusing is done by turning a wheel near the lens, just below the shutter release button, but it is also possible to turn the lens.
