NOTES:
  "Advanced design by Joseph Mihalyi and styling by Walter Dorwin
  Teague, 'clam-shell' construction. The first automatic exposure
  control camera. A large selenium photocell moved a meter needle, which
  was locked by the first pressure on the shutter release by a comb-like
  element. A spring-loaded sensor, connected to the aperature control
  then moved until stopped by the locked needle; the exposure was then
  made. The camera was fully automatic for shutter speeds between 1/25
  and 1/200 sec.; manual setting was possible". (Coe, 1988)
