AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Two units of ROBOT Recorder. Model 1 first series and Model 1 second series.
Produced in West Germany between 1956 and 1960, the Robot Recorder is a masterpiece of micro-mechanics of precision, born from the engineering of Deutche Robot. It uses 35mm film in a square format of 24×24 mm and still impresses today with its incredible robustness and its central spring shutter, capable of very rapid sequences that made it beloved by technicians, scientific reporters, and even police forces. Compact, appropriately heavy, built like a Swiss watch, the Recorder represents the essence of mechanical photography: reliable, ingenious, beautiful to use and to collect.

One of the two units, the first series, is complete and in perfect working condition; the second is also fully functional but lacks the shutter button and the time selector. The rest is intact and operational.
