Prestwich Camera was a cine camera eventually fitted with external magazines capable of holding up 400 feet of film. Several types of "Prestwich Camera" were manufactured in the late 1800's. One of the earliest designs of this type held 50 feet of film -- more film than any other camera of the age. According to Carl Louis Gregory, An advertisement in Hopwood's "Living Pictures" edition of 1899 offers the "Prestwich" specialties for animated photography -- "nine different models of cameras and projectors in three sizes for l/2-inch, 1 3/8-inch and 2 3/8-inch width of film."
