Kodaks and Kodak Supplies, 1914
Part 2
These cameras are fitted with the best R. R. lenses to be had, each one carefully tested to the highest standard and fitted only if it conforms to that standard. The shutter is of the Kodak Ball Bearing type.
The camera as a whole makes a compact, inexpensive outfit, considering its capabilities, and one which, though suitable for the most serious work, will slip readily into the pocket, and is so simple that it may be effectively handled by the beginner.

Nos. 3 and 4 Folding Pocket Kodaks
These cameras are made for two standard amateur size pictures and are similar in every essential respect excepting in the matter of size. The No. 3 makes 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 pictures--a favorite with many, and especially suitable for lantern slide making, as the slide can be printed by direct contact. The No. 4 makes 4 x 5 pictures and is preferred by many on account of the comparatively large size which it is possible to get of the objects in the composition.
Both cameras offer the usual Kodak simplicity, and the exceptional lens and shutter equipment which assures the user the maximum of efficiency in all work where an anastigmat equipment is not necessary. The illustration on the opposite page shows the No. 3.
The shutter is the Kodak Ball Bearing, in which is mounted an R. R. lens which must stand the most rigid test before it is passed by our inspectors. This lens works at _f._ 8, and as the leaves of the Kodak Ball Bearing shutter open in the shape of a star, the greatest possible amount of light is admitted at this opening--a fact which makes the instruments especially valuable for snap-shot work.
The cameras are equipped with rising and sliding front--a great convenience in architectural and many forms of landscape photography, and an automatic focusing lock is provided so that either can quickly be brought to focus at any-distance.
While these models, of course, are designed for the use of our roll films, either can be loaded with plates at any time by the addition of a simple plate adapter or combination back (supplied extra). This is interchangeable with the regular back, is provided with ground glass for focusing and takes double plate holders. (See similar back illustrated on page 20.)
Both cameras are handsomely finished throughout. Back and bed are of aluminum, metal parts are highly nickeled, and covering is of fine quality grain leather.

No. 3A Folding Pocket Kodak
The best thought of our manufacturing organization has been put into presenting in this model a moderate priced camera for general amateur photography that is the embodiment of skill and painstaking care.
It has in fact come to be recognized as the standard in hand cameras, and every suitable improvement made, or new idea evolved in the years in which it has been on the market, has been incorporated in its construction.
The 3A Folding Pocket Kodak was the first camera made for 3-1/4 x 5-1/2 pictures--a size which has become the most popular of all amateur sizes. Its proportions are just right for post cards, it is unusually effective for landscapes and street scenes when used horizontally; while vertically, it is ideal for portraiture, whether full length or head and shoulders, when the camera is fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment.
The camera is fitted with tested R. R. lens, the Kodak Ball Bearing shutter, and rising and sliding front. And it is so simple that a beginner can make good pictures with it from the start.
Like the No. 3, this model will accommodate plates as well as films by the simple addition of a combination back, which is interchangeable with the regular back. This may be secured from any dealer, it is fitted with ground glass and takes double plate holders.
This camera is covered with best quality of fine grain leather, and has nickeled fittings.
In Detail
For rectangular pictures, 3-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches. Capacity, 10 exposures without reloading. Size of Kodak, 9-1/2 x 4-3/4 x 2 inches. Weight, 41 ounces.

No. 4A Folding Kodak
For very large size pictures, we offer the No. 4A Folding Kodak--a camera which combines all the simple and convenient Kodak features in a very light and compact camera, considering the size of the pictures it makes. It is fully equipped for out-of-the-ordinary work, as well as for snap-shot and general amateur photography.
One of its special features is its adaptability to home portraiture. Fitted with the Kodak Portrait Attachment, it will make bust portraits up to the full size of the film, as it may be operated as close as 3-1/2 feet to the subject. A plate adapter (extra) with focusing screen, interchangeable with the regular back, will permit the use of dry plates if desired.
The shutter supplied with this model is a double valve automatic, which works not only for time and bulb exposures, but is also graduated in fractional parts of a second from 1/100 to 1. The lens is a Rapid Rectilinear of the same high quality as those supplied with the preceding Kodaks.
The camera is equipped with rising and sliding front, rack and pinion for easy focusing, two tripod sockets and a very positive automatic standard clamp. The regular finder is a brilliant reversible, but when desired, a direct view finder can be furnished for specially quick snap-shot work with the camera held on a level with the eyes.
Constructed with the same care and attention to detail as the preceding model, the No. 4A is just as simple to operate, and is finished in the same style, with seal grain covering and nickeled fittings.

Panoram Kodaks
The Panoram Kodak does a special kind of work--a very desirable kind of work which cannot be done with a camera of any other type.
As its name implies, it is constructed so as to take panoramic pictures of outdoor groups, landscapes, mountain views, and the like.
For instance, in making a picture of an outdoor group of twelve or fifteen people, with an ordinary camera, they would have to be arranged in two or three rows to get good sized images, but with a Panoram they can be arranged in a semi-circle, at a given distance from the camera, and all appear in the picture in one row and of the proper relative size. Again, in making a landscape, the sweep of the Panoram lens will take in the complete view, while the scope of the ordinary camera could only permit a portion of it to be taken at one exposure.
In addition to its use for making horizontal pictures, the camera may be as easily used in the vertical position, and decidedly unique pictures of high waterfalls, mountain peaks and such subjects can be secured.
The lens is mounted on a pivot and when the exposure is to be made, by pressing a lever the lens automatically swings on this pivot from one side of the camera to the other, embracing an angle of over 100 degrees. At the same time, the shutter operates automatically with great precision, insuring even illumination throughout the exposure.
There is no complication whatever in operation, the whole process is automatic; it's just as easy to make pictures with the Panoram as with any other Kodak.
Those who already have other Kodaks or contemplate purchasing such, will find this a valuable addition to their photographic equipment for the making of out-of-the-ordinary pictures.
Panoram Kodaks use the regular daylight loading N. C. Kodak film, they are carefully made, have genuine leather coverings and nickeled fittings.
The No. 1 has a scope of 112 degrees, while the No. 4 embraces an angle of 142 degrees. Panoram Kodaks cannot be used successfully indoors.

Nos. 1A and 3 Special Kodaks
The Special Kodaks are made upon the idea of providing the very best possible in hand cameras. A fine anastigmat lens, made expressly for hand camera work, a high speed, accurate shutter, a complete operating equipment, and the best materials procurable, richly finished--these, moulded together by the most expert camera workmen in the world, leave nothing to be desired by the user, whether he be beginner or expert.
Aside from the requirements of the focal plane specialist, there is no condition under which amateur pictures can be made, in which these cameras will not produce the best possible results.
The Nos. 1A and 3 Specials are alike in every respect excepting in size--the No. 1A making 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 pictures and the No. 3 the larger 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 size.
Each is fitted with the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens working at a maximum opening of _f._ 6.3, and with the Compound shutter attaining a speed of 1/250 second. The fast lenses give the Specials a great advantage over the ordinary camera in dull lights, and in combination with the Compound shutter, make them second only to cameras having focal plane shutters for photographing rapidly moving objects.
They have rising and sliding fronts, reversible finders, rack and pinion for focusing, spirit levels, in fact every useful convenience that can be put into a hand camera. The No. 3 size will take plates by addition of a combination back (supplied extra).
Made as the last word in photographic perfection, these cameras are beautifully finished. Covered with genuine Persian Morocco, with rich black leather bellows and nickeled fittings, they bear the impress of the quality that is in them.

No. 3A Special Kodak
To combine in one instrument every feature that could add to practical efficiency and yet retain the pocket Kodak convenience and simplicity was the work that we set for ourselves in designing the 3A Special Kodak. In no respect did we fall short of that work. In this camera no essential to good picture making is omitted, yet it has no unnecessary "contraptions" to annoy and befog the beginner. It is recognized as the highest type of hand camera for the amateur--skilled or unskilled.
The 3A Special Kodak is equipped with the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens, _f._ 6.3, the anastigmat made especially for hand camera work and combining speed, depth and definition in an unusual degree. The shutter is the Compound, operated by either cable or finger release and having a maximum speed of 1/200 second.
With this equipment it is possible to get well-timed pictures, under light conditions that would be fatal to good results with the ordinary camera and in bright light to make successful exposures as short as 1/200 second.
The 3A Special has a most complete equipment in keeping with the high grade of work for which it is designed. It has both rising and sliding front, reversible finder, rack and pinion for focusing, spirit level, double focusing scale--one for films and the other for plates.
The camera body is made of aluminum, producing a very light, yet strong and durable, instrument. The finish and appointments are of the richest. The covering is genuine Persian Morocco, the bellows is of black selected leather, and these in connection with the highly nickeled fittings and dull black enameled shutter add that look of quality that is in harmony with its genuine efficiency and worth.
In Detail
Size of Kodak, 9-1/2 x 4-3/4 x 2 inches. Weight, 42 ounces. Lens, Zeiss Kodak anastigmat, speed, _f._ 6.3, focal length, 6-3/4 inches. Shutter, Compound, with cable release. (See page 7.) Two tripod sockets. Brilliant reversible finder, with hood. Spirit level. Rack and pinion for focusing.

_Six-Three_ Kodaks
From the time that the Kodak catalogue appeared last year, containing the first announcement of the _Six-Three_ Kodaks, it was evident that these cameras were to score a great success. The demand for them grew, as it were, over night, and has steadily kept up ever since.
This is a natural enough condition, when it is considered that _Six-Three_ Kodaks provide those who want the anastigmat advantages of definition, flatness of field, and speed, at the minimum of expense, with suitably equipped and fully reliable cameras.
To produce such cameras we have taken the regular Folding Pocket Kodak models and replaced the R. R. lens and Ball Bearing shutter equipments with the Compound shutter with cable release and the Cooke Kodak anastigmat lens. This lens is an anastigmat of first quality, fully corrected and working at a maximum speed of _f._ 6.3.
For other details on any _Six-Three_ Kodak, merely refer to the detailed specifications of the corresponding regular model.
The Price
_Six-Three_ Kodak No. 1A, 2-1/2 x 4-1/4, Cooke Kodak anastigmat lens, _f._ 6.3, and Compound shutter, highest speed 1/250 second $37.00 _Six-Three_ Kodak No. 3, 3-1/4 x 4-1/4, Cooke Kodak anastigmat lens, _f._ 6.3, and Compound shutter, highest speed 1/250 second 39.00 _Six-Three_ Kodak No. 3A, 3-1/4 x 5-1/2, Cooke Kodak anastigmat lens, _f._ 6.3, and Compound shutter, highest speed 1/250 second 48.00 Kodak Autotime Scale (Style H for Nos. 1A and 3, Style HH for No. 3A) 1.50
For prices on carrying cases, films, etc., see price list of corresponding regular models.
No. 1 Brownie
This, the first of the Brownies, is really responsible for the entire line of these popular cameras. Originally produced as a camera particularly for the children, the No. 1 Brownie made such good pictures in their hands as to excite the interest of grown-up people, and the success obtained by its use created a demand for similar inexpensive cameras for pictures of larger size. The No. 1 Brownie is exceedingly simple to operate and each camera has to undergo the regular Kodak inspection, before being sent out.
The scope of view is ordinarily located by V-shaped lines at the top, but if preferred the Brownie finder (detachable) illustrated below, can be fitted at an extra charge of 25 cents.
Has automatic shutter for time or snap-shot exposures, and will make good portraits when fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment.
In Detail
For square pictures, 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches. Capacity, 6 exposures without reloading. Size of camera, 4-7/8 x 3-1/8 x 3 inches. Weight, 8 ounces. Lens, meniscus, 3-3/4-inch focus. Shutter, Eastman Rotary, with one stop.

Nos. 2 and 2A Brownies
Simple, sturdy, reliable, these inexpensive little cameras have stood the test of years, and will be found in the hands of many thousands of people all over the world, who are making perfectly satisfactory pictures with them. They are especial favorites with the children on account of their great simplicity, but they are withal so practical that they have been readily taken up by grown-up people who wish to make pictures in the easiest possible manner and at the minimum of expense.
Each has two finders, automatic shutter, carefully tested lens, and imitation leather covering. They differ from each other only in the size of the pictures they make and in their lenses.
