The Cirkut is a rotating P. Of the type known as. It was patented by William J.

Johnston in 1904, and was manufactured by Rochester Panoramic Camera Company starting in 1905; during that same year, the company was acquired by the Century Camera Co. Which itself was owned by. Manufacture of the camera continued through 1949. There were several models: No. 16, named according to the maximum width of the film accepted, in inches.

The length of film (corresponding to the width of the panorama), varied by model also, ranging up to 18 feet (5.5m) for the No. 16, yielding a single negative with an area of more than 24 square feet (2.2m). The Cirkut Panoramic Outfit is in itself a most complete affair, being made up of a camera which can be used in the ordinary manner for plates when desired and a Panoramic Attachment which is easily and quickly attached to the camera, thus converting it into a Panoramic Outfit. The Attachment in itself is much like an ordinary Cartridge Roll Holder in that it is made to use Eastman Daylight-loading Cartridge Film. In addition it contains the mechanism which, when the outfit is in operation, unwinds the film past a slot on a roller and in so doing exposes it and at the same time revolves the camera about on an axis, a special tripod and top being furnished.

A pressure on the release is all that is necessary to start the motor another pressure stops it, thus negatives of any desired length up to 6 feet with the No. 6 and 7 feet with the No.

A complete circle of 360 degrees may thus be photographed if desired. There is an indicator on the top of the Film Holder showing the exact quantity of film exposed and that remaining unexposed. By another very ingenious arrangement one is enabled to determine before exposure is made how long a photograph the view decided on will be. All Circuits operate in the same way.

A clockwork motor is wound with a key, just like an antique clock. A switch on the back of the camera is turned.

This starts the motor, which drives a small gear protruding from the base of the camera. The gear meshes with a large circular gear on the circumference of the turntable base. This is what rotates the camera in a circle. Meanwhile, inside the camera, the same clockwork motor is also dragging film from its spool, past an open shutter and onto a take-up drum.

The shutter, which is opened by the same switch that starts the motor, is actually a narrow, vertical slit the same width as the film. The exposure ends when the switch on the camera back is rotated once more, stopping the motor and closing the shutter.
