Spec Notes

FIXED LENS, fixed focus 13mm f/3.5. 25 ft double-8 giving 50 ft projected, a little over four minutes; 16 fr/s; spring motor taking about 20 half-turns to a full wind; eye-level finder. The footage indicator registers UNEXPOSED film remaining. END DATE NOT SOURCED, and this is a CORRECTION: an earlier draft of this roster gave November 1946, which is the MODEL 25's end date, not this one. production End is null. SERIAL NUMBERS: these bodies DO carry serials (Kerr's own Special is number 330; a Science Museum Group Royal Magazine is 65678) but NO Cine-Kodak serial-to-year scheme is published anywhere - checked across all four Kerr monographs, Wikipedia, Pacific Rim Camera's Cine reference library and two museum catalogues. Date these bodies by model production window only.
