Paillard Bolex introduced the newly designed Model G projector in 1936. It was available in "monofilm" or "multifilm" models; the latter included a parts kit of reel spindles, sprockets, gate and guide-rollers that could be used without tools to adapt the projector to the various film guages.
The film transport mechanism featured helical gears and sprockets, rather than the more common belt driven system on most projectors.
As of 1940, the price was $210 for single format models, $235 for dual format and $250 for the Model G-3, without a carrying case. Arms to accommodate 800ft reels could be purchased for an additional cost of $37.50 for any of the models.
