This was an ingenious and practical camera, printer and projector, using centre perforated 17.5mm. film. It was manufactured by Alfred Darling and sold by the Warwick Trading Company

The camera was designed as a complete system that could take snapshots and film motion pictures at the same time. The double-ended body allows two films to be exposed before it is necessary to return to the dark room. The film threading part of the camera has a brass plate acting as front gate with a centre perforation claw protruding from the internal chamber. The rear part of the camera has a sprung pressure plate and a large threaded brass flange covering a hole for light to enter when the unit is used for printing or projection. To use as a projector, a wooden film box and metal spool-arm would be needed; these were also sold by the maker as optional accessories.

The film has no conventional take-up, but falls into a receptacle. Having processed the negtive, a positive could then be printed using the same mechanism. Finally, the positive could be projected using just the front section of the camera mounted in front of a magic lantern. An imaginative solution to the home cinema problem a century ago.
