ECLAIR ACL I Camera Manual - page 17
Side Mounting (Code MIPSI) enables a hand grip to
be fitted to the side of the camera when the pilotone
module is not fitted. This mounting contains a sliding
ON/OFF switch for camera start.
Pilotone Module (Code PI MOD) can be fitted
instead of the side mounting. This also contains a
sliding ON/OFF switch for camera start, and location
for a side fitted handgrip is provided.
The pilotone module performs the following func-
tions:
a) generates a pilotone signal for 50Hz at 25 f.p.s.
60Hz at 24 f.p.s.
100Hz at 25 f.p.s.
b) depending on requirement, the pilotone signal
canbe present or cut out for the duration of the
bloop signal.
The pilotone signal frequency is very accurate since
it is controlled by the motor speed, in turn controlled
by the crystal. The connections to the pilotone
recorder socket are shown in fig.5. The three fre-
quencies are clearly marked on the pilotone rotary
switch.(fig.12)
The pilotone module is supplied with two lengths of
sync cables, 1.2 metres (4 ft) and 7.6 metres (25 ft).
Each cable is available as an accessory and is fitted
with a. Jaeger plug type 530273 and clamp type
530371 for the Pilotone Module and a suitable plug
at the other end to suit the recorder.
Handgrip (Code MIGRI). The handgrip is con-
structed in two sections; the bracket which fits into
the base or the top 3/8" Whitworth thread and the
grip which is connected to the bracket by means of a
thumb screw. Its position can be varied to suit the
individual and it is securely located in any position by
locking the serrated rings which are fitted to both
sections. A similar serrated ring is fitted to the
Pilotone Module housing to provide a fixing for the
same grip when used as a lateral support. The grip is
constructed to house two spare filter slides.
Filter Slides (code MIGEL). These slides are de-
signed to sandwich a gelatine filter which is then cut
to shape. It is then inserted at the top of the camera
and when in position behind the lens can be seen
through the viewfinder. If no filter is necessary when
filming, an empty holder must always be in position
to prevent f lare.
N.B. See section 3.1 on use of gelatine filters behind
the lens.
Filter Wallet (Code M ITU 1). This is a flat container
for five filter holders (code MIGEL) for spare or
different Coloured filters.
