(1951)
The Comet, or actually the unbranded prototype was the first Cirse projector. Just like the Super Comet it was available in three separate formats: 8mm, 9,5mm and 16mm. ​

The Cirse Comet 16mm (below) is a very rare version of this projector. It was also made in a 9.5mm version. The Comet and Super Comet were the only Cirse projectors made in three different gauges. In front view it can be easily recognized by the wider sprockets.
