Cirkut #16 instruction manual (ca 1919)

[frobozz]

I've not seen one of these posted on the internet anywhere so when I acquired one recently I figured the kindly thing to do would be to scan it and post it here. It's an original Cirkut #16 instruction manual from 1919.

I scanned it at 600DPI and made a PDF at that resolution, but it's 22MB and some people's Acrobat Reader will gag on a file that big. So I also reduced all the scans to 100DPI and made another smaller (< 2MB) PDF. It's fuzzier, but still totally readable on a screen if you have to.

Big one:

100DPI one:

Enjoy!

Duncan - Thanks so much for posting this. Reading the instruction book is as close as I'll ever come to operating a #16!
This appears to be the "long" instruction book and has more shooting tips than the usual Cirkut instructions. I have that "long" #10 i.b. but it is a poor quality photocopy and not so easy to read.
I want to add some thoughts to the Cirkut development thread but keep getting bogged down in several other projects.

Len,

So the "long" #10 instruction manual is longer than this one?

Oh great, something else I need to someday find!

I have a similar length (to the above #10) manual for the #6 camera. I'll get that scanned and posted at some point too.

(on edit: oh haha, I see you already gave me your photocopy to post on my site!

Yes, I need to find a better copy of that to scan, someday...)

Outstanding! Thank you! I have a little book of notes I've kept while using mine. Never thought I'd ever see an actual manual. Again, outstanding!

Duncan - Do you still have these manuals accessible? It looks like the links are broken.
