Prexer AP-44 Projector

Description

The Prexer AP-44 film projector, manufactured in the 1970s, is designed to project films from a 16mm tape. It was designed to be used in small projection rooms or other rooms with limited dimensions. As an optical device, the Prexer AP-44 allows projection of images onto a projection screen, for which it uses film tape wound onto two reels. Enclosed in the body of the device is the mechanism for the continuous movement of film at a speed of 16 frames per second or more, enabling the creation of the impression of a moving image. Like other projectors made by ŁZK, this device was advertised as “easy to operate” and “durable in use”, and, above all, as providing a “sharp, stable and clear image and clean, undistorted sound”. For these reasons it was a device useful for teaching in schools and universities. Manufacturer: Łódzkie Zakłady Kinotechniczne PREXER, Łódź, 1970s Inv.
