little more than three ounces The Inventor Charles Melton the inventor of the Melton Viewer was a musician in a local night club when he con ceived the idea of a viewer that would enable anyone owning an 8mm camera to see his film without benefit of a projector The same ma chine makes an excellent editor for motion pictures and the simplicity of the mechanism was what ap pealed to those retailers who to date have placed orders for a re ported 200000 of the machines Melton took his working plans to the Associated Agency corporation and they financed its development taking in return the exclusive sales contract on the product Local bus iness men seeing the working model became interested in its manufac ture and a corporation was formed all the stock being absorbed by the manufacturers and none of it be ing placed on the market With the hand made working models sales men went to the motion picture capitol and the Disney studios ex pressed immediate interest rom there
