Pathé is a gold mine! Thanks for digging up the nuggets.
Looks like a Seimag system in the German automated typewriter film. Could be wrong but I think I saw one of these in the Ericson building in Richmond , Melbourne
Thank you Richard for your thanks.
John, you are right - if you look closely at the letterhead on the paper being used, it says Seimag.
