Upright-style folding camera for 3¼x4¼ inch images; Images on Polaroid
type 40 rollfilm; First model has flexiable spring post finder.
Roll film contains large roll of specially treated paper and a smaller
paper negative roll connected together by a paper leader. Roll film
is loaded in the top of the camera, leader is threaded through
rollers and out a slot at the bottom of the camera. After exposure,
leader is pulled down drawing together the negative paper and
print paper through the rollers. As the paper passes through the
rollers, a chemistry pod of developer/fixer is broken and spread
across the paper. The image develops outside of the camera after about
a minute; negative paper is peeled off revealing a sepia toned image.
