Cranks and Motors - Text 10
The use of the crank rendered hand-held shooting arduous, in addition to creating stability problems with smaller cameras such as the Pathé-Baby.[4] Both Pathé and Kodak reacted by promptly bringing to market new camera models, the Motocamera and the Ciné-Kodak Model B, which were driven by a spring-wound clockwork motor. They were not the first to do so: many other manufacturers had launched the production of spring-wound small-gauge cameras over the preceding years. One of these was Bell & Howell, which had introduced the spring-wound 16 mm Filmo in 1923.
