 9.5 was where I started in the 1960's. I've always been interested mainly in the sound side, but on the other hand I have an ongoing affection for the Pathé Baby. At present, I have about 30, tho' many are in an advanced state of decay. Here is the list of topics you can click on.

 1. 9.5 Sound

      My years spent trying to improve the quality of 9.5 sound, and some of the many efforts to convert 9.5 silent machines to sound.

 2. 9.5 Silent

    Babies 1 - 3, Coq D'Or, Duplex, Toy Projectors, Baby Film Catlogs (French and English), Baby Equipment and various.

 3. French Bits

     I got from Dave Wyatt some reprints of French 9.5 magazine articles,

     about stencil colour etc., reproduced here in translation.

 4. 9.5 Miscellany

     A home for odd bits.

       Lux instructions (part)

       Notes on the Pax main pulley

 6.  History

      A short history of Pathé and 9.5 up to 1981.

 7.  The Novascope story.

 8.   Pathescope Monthly and its Baby Cine predecessor.

 9.  The "Joinville" Equipment Pathé finally made some conventional,     

      high quality tackle, the series which included the Pax.
