saw this in thailand a few weeks ago. Thought you might like it.......unsure whether it`s a still cam or a film? Somebody might know?

That is old - interesting with the description - trying work out what 'with glass for shuttering'means

thanks Cat, BP and Mary Anne.....I was thinking along the lines of a movie projector as the handle on the top looks like a winder upperer thingy and the white wheel at the bottom would be a flywheel...so you could wind it up and it would run by itself for a while.

I'd be very careful with its electrics.
