The deeper I dive into servicing the Fox Cine Simplex camera, the more fascinating engineering choices I find. As I was checking lubrication for the main drive, shutter shaft, and sprocket drive, I discovered the camera cavity was full of what looks like wool. A terrific early insulation, the wool would enhance the sound-proof nature of this camera without adding significantly to its size or weight. As I was pulling handfuls of wool out of the camera, the obvious mistake was not putting in 3 bags so I could amuse myself and everyone else with this joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
