This machine had a rough travel. It loosened from the base plate and has been rolling around in the box all the way from Liverpool to Norway.
It does have a lid as well. Think of the most rusty you can imagine and you're pretty close.
We'll give it a bit of TLC and see if it becomes more happy after that.

1. Aluminium Casting and Rolling Machine Brief technological process:
1.1
1.2 Aluminum liquid or compounded aluminum flows from the holding furnace through the launder to the belt continuous casting machine to cast the molten aluminum into trapezium ingot with a section of 2400mm2, then shear the substandard aluminum ingot, press the front part small, and feed it into the 15 rolling stands to manufacture al. rod with a dia. of 9.5mm. The stand (can also be bought from us) which will loop it.
2. Aluminium Casting and Rolling Machine Application:
This aluminum rod CCR line is designed to manufacture aluminum conductive rod diameter of 12mm with 13rolling stands, 9.5mm with 15 rolling stands.
3. Aluminium Casting and Rolling Machine Component parts and structural features:
Belt continuous casting machine consists of crystallizing wheel, driving device, press roll device, steel belt greasing device, guide bridge, steel belt tensioner, external cooling inject, steel belt, etc.
The melt aluminum flows from the holding furnace through the launder to the pouring groove, the floating head of the plug controls the flow of the al. liquid, the liquid is poured into the cavity formed by the crystallizing wheel and the sealed belt. The whole pouring groove can be moved up and down driving by the power of motor. Worm gear reducer and screw pair. The section of crystallizing wheel is M-type, and it is driven by the motor. The crystallizing wheel is equipped with an inner cooling device, which could spray cooling water onto the inner surface of the wheel with a water pressure of 0.35 Mpa. The inner cooling water can be divided into 6 sections; the flow could be controlled by the cut off valve. The external cooling device spray the cooling water onto the steel belt, so as to cool the al. liquid won't flow out. The guide wheel is used to adjust or change the direction of the steel belt and change the length of the cavity. The tension of the steel belt can be changed through the tensioner, so as to keep a certain tension. In order to strip the al. ingot, the continuous casting machine is equipped with steel belt greasing device. Because the whole process is not interrupted long ingot can be gained.
Continuous rolling mill:
The continuous rolling mill consists of 15 rolling stands of three rollers type-Y. The nominal dia. is 255mm. there are 7 upper driving device for even number rolling stands and 8 lower driving device for odd number rolling stands, they are arranged alternately. The type of the hole is "circuit-arc triangle-circuit". The main DC motor transmits the power through the coupler and the main shaft under the 12th rolling stand of driving gearbox. The transmission ratio between two neighboring stands is 1:1.25; there is safe tooth-like coupling in the junction of the gearbox and rolling stands. When it is overloaded, the safe pin will be cut to avoid the accident. In the front and the back of the rolling stands there are inlet and outlet guide device. The rolling guide device is used in the odd number rolling stands, and the sliding guide device is used in the even number rolling stands. Small roller of every rolling stands can be adjusted by shims of the different thickness; the range can be 0.1-1.00mm. The adjustment of the hole every rolling stands is taken out by a certain plug gauge. The seam can be 0.866mm, the tolerance is ±0.10mm.
The thin-oil lubricating system is used to lubricating the driving gearbox and bearings. It includes:
Oil pump: ZCY-18m3/0.36
Max. flow: 18m3/h
Work pressure: 0.35Mpa
Motor type: Y132M2-6 5.5kw
Oil temperature: 35-45oC
Oil tank: 3m3
The lubricating oil comes out of the oil box which has a volume of 3m3, and flows through the oil pump into the main intake pipe and then into the gearbox in three different ways. The lubricating oil is sprayed onto the gear through the oil nozzle, and lubricates the rolling bearing directly through the red copper joint of the branch oil pipe and the upper part of the bearing block.
The emulsion comes out of the emulsion station and flows into the main emulsion pipe which is installed in the driving gear box, and flows through the top and two sides of the stands into the rolling stands and the guide device separately. The returned emulsion can flows back to the emulsion tank through the return emulsion pipe and slot.

7. Aluminium Casting and Rolling Machine Maintenance and reparation
7.1. All the places equipped with oil cup or existing relative motion, such as guide rail, screw and screw mandrel, etc. should be added with lubricating oil.
7.2. In all the lubricating oil station, emulsion stations, the oil level should be paid more attention to, and be clear at a fixed time to avoid being blocked. And lubricating oil should be added by a fixed time to keep a certain density. If they have been deteriorated, the deteriorated part should be cleared out in time. The oil should be filtered half a year, and no other dirty things are allowed to get in.
7.3. After working for 1500 hours, every gearbox should be opened and cleared, and filled in new oil, and make sure the oil level at the right place.
7.4. If the machine hasn't been used for a long time, the parts existing relative motion should be sprayed with oil. The taper gears and bearings of the rolling stands should be added with a certain volume of lubricant to avoid being rusted.
7.5. The cooling water should be supplied continuously; otherwise, the crystallizing wheel will be damaged.
7.6. If the load is added suddenly or the raw material is heap up, the shear pin of the safe coupling shaft.

I made a film slitter using razor blades, to cut 35mm film down to two 9.5mm widths, which I then loaded into an old Minox cassette. The film was Kodak ColorPlus ISO 200, which I developed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
The negatives are tiny (8mm x 11mm) and so the quality is never going to be particularly good.

The following text comes from a Vitak ad:
The Vitak Motion Picture Machine.
The Wonderful Home Entertainer
Designers and inventors have been struggling for ten years to make a moving picture within the reach of the home. The designer of the VITAK built the moving picture machine which photographed the Corbett-Fitzsimmons Championship contest at Carson city, Nevada. This was the first great moving picture success, both from a photographic and commercial standpoint. It brought before the eyes of the people hundreds of miles distant from the scene of battle every feint, pass and blow of the pugilists. The inventor was peculiarly fitted to undertake the task of designing the moving picture machine, which the average American could afford to buy, and afterwards could easily operate.
The Vitak is a moving picture machine and not a toy imitation. Although low in price, it is as scientifically constructed as a moving picture machine which would cost $100.00. Its lenses are placed in relation to each other with the mathematical exactness employed by an expert in optics. It has been brought down to a popular price by the marvelous ingenuity of the designer, and must not be taken for granted by anyone that the VITAK is a plaything for children. At the same time it is constructed so simply that a youth can operate it.
The Lamp. The Vitak Safety Carbide Generator and Lamp is the thing without which the VITAK could not exist. The failiure to design the popular moving picture machine hitherto has been a failiure merely to design a cheap lamp which could give a great light and at the same time avoid any danger in the operation. The VITAK Safety Carbide Generator is conceded by all to encompass in the smallest space the greatest light power ever developed. A little water and a few spoonfuls of carbide does the trick. The amount of carbide is so small that were it instantaneously generated, the gas would not fill a hat box. In point of safety, it is safer than the kerosene lamp, and only the tremendous electric current necessary to produce an arc light equals the Vitak Lamp.
Here you have a lamp not bigger than a bicycle lamp, developing 500 candle power upon the screen. It is absolutely «fool proof,» and the most inattentive person and the most careless could not manipulate it so as to cause the slightest danger.
The Film. In the Vitak film, there are 32 pictures to a foot, and our popular standard size, the ten-foot endless film contains 320 perfect photographs. These 320 photographs taken one after the other catch the moving body in the different stages of action, and present to the eye the similitude of life itself. These pictures are projected by the Vitak at the rate of 12 to 15 per second.
When the machine is placed from 8 to 12 feet from the screen, a picture of abut 2 ft. wide is projected. The size of the picture is goverend by the distance of the VITAK from the screen, the 2 ft. picture being the most satisfactory, as the eye cannot take in a larger picture in small quarters.
We issue a monthly new list of films of a wide range of interesting subjects and also a variety of comic ones. Write for list of subjects.

Restoration: .
History: Pathé introduced the Baby projector in 1922. This was the first succesful projector for ordinary people. This projector represents the first home cinema for the masses. Pathe went on to develop a wide range of accessories, add-ons, attachments and gizmo's, plus a range of attractively-packed ancillary items. It was the birth of the "gear" hobby in cine.

This camera takes 8x11mm negatives on Minox film, I got the film from:
This is Fuji Superia 200, developed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
"Pathe Baby-Cine Motocamera", 9.5mm format, home movie camera made in France probably dates 1927 - 1935, clockwork motor, fixed focus lens with f3.5 - f14 variable apperture. German made period folding tripod.
In 1934, these cameras retailed for £10, which at todays average wages, works out at £1,900. Clearly home movies were the preserve of the weatlthy.

A tinplate rotary viewer by Baird & Tatlock, London:,
the cylindrical body enclosing a rotating drum with
narrow slits, overpainted brown with maker's plate as
per title, 14.5cm wide *Notes- This rare optical
illusion device would have been set in motion by
squeezing a rubber ball and tube attached to the
drum which when operated then becomes animated
to the viewer.

Two consecutive frames taken with the Minox EC spy camera that I first used in week 106 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

I made a film slitter using razor blades, to cut 35mm film down to two 9.5mm widths, which I then loaded into an old Minox cassette. The film was Kodak ColorPlus ISO 200, which I developed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
The negatives are tiny (8mm x 11mm) and so the quality is never going to be particularly good.
I will be using this camera in week 160 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

Thessaly
Perrhaiboi. Circa 462/1-460 BC. Obol (Silver, 9.5mm, 0.94 g 6). Forepart of wolf to left; above, monogram of either MAK or ΛAK. Rev. ΠE Head of bridled horse to right; all within incuse square. Cf BCD 1236 (same reverse die, but no monogram on the obverse). Hoffmann 1890, Photiades Pasha, 136 = Weber 2891 (same dies, now in the BM). Liampi, 1996, I, III, 6 (possibly the same dies, but the monogram is damaged on the illustrated specimen). Extremely rare, the best and most complete known example. Extremely fine. From a European collection, formed before 2005.
This is quite an extraordinary coin! The types have been known since the Photiades Pasha sale in 1890, but both previously published examples were insufficiently preserved to allow the obverse monogram to be read correctly. In any event, what the obverse monogram signifies is a mystery: magistrates’ names or monograms very rarely appeared on Thessalian coins this early, and being in such a prominent position on the coin would be exceptional. The possibility that it refers to a political grouping or a prominent leader is certainly conceivable. One suggestion is that it refers to the Macedonians who were on Perrhaiboia’s northern border, and implies that there was some form of alliance between the two states.
