Kineto Ltd. operated from 1907-1923 primarily as a manufacturer of cinematographic projectors and accessories. Amongst the shareholders of the company were Charles Urban and Theodore Brown. McKernan states that Kineto was a subsidiary film company of Charles Urban set up for the production of scientific and interest films. The firm produced an extensive series of films and an American branch was also established until it went bankrupt in 1925.

The Model B mechanism was the most unusual design in the Kineto range and was also the most expensive, costing twice as much as their more conventional 35mm. projection mechanisms. At its heart was a large double cam (visible upon removal of the nameplate) which controlled the intermittent movement. As the Kineto brochure stated, 'The cam itself is of novel construction, it acts as a steadying device on the whole mechanism on the principle of the gyroscope...with the result that the picture is thrown steadily on the screen and the driving power is reduced to a minimum.'
