RE: Eclair ACL DIY Conversions

[cinesota@yahoo.com]

Hi Phill,
As I understand it the Beaulieu R16 is impossible to convert to super 16 
due to the fact that the camera movement would interfere with the 
widening of the gate.  The guillotine shutter rides on rails and the 
wider S16 gate would cut into the rail assembly.  Add to the fact that 
you will need a new wider mirrored shutter and god knows what else and 
you have a camera that can't be converted.  You run into the same 
problem with the Arriflex M and S cameras.

Cheers,
Ray

I am even considering converting a Beaulieu R16 by way of a pre-cursor. 
That is unless I find a fundamental problem with such a conversion, 
perhaps Ray knows something of this?
