William Vinten Ltd of Bury St. Edmunds, England, was founded in 1910. The company made cine equipment, including Kinemacolor projectors.[1] During the First World War, the Vinten works was taken over by aircraft builders Sopwith, and Vinten began making aircraft cameras. Between the Wars, Vinten returned to cinema equipment, but again made reconnaissance cameras for the RAF in the Second World War. The firm still exists as a professional studio equipment maker and video camera distributor.
