This is one of the first models made in the 1930's
The Movie Mite had a hand full of patents. One for the USING on only ONE sprocket. made for much easier film loading. Most other brands for projectors had 2 sometimes 3 sprockets and were a loading nightmare.
another patent was for the using the same lamp to project the picture and for the exciter lamp. the exciter is the light that shines through the sound track on the film..
