CAMERA
LITTLE TWIN LENS “ROLLEICORD"
A miniature twin-lens camera
for roll flms from the factory that produce the Rolleiflex is bound to be interesting, and the "Rolleicord" therefore comes with Kood credentials to back it. It is considerably cheaper than the Rolleiflex, but that cheapness has not been obtained by the sacrifice of efficiency.
There is only one model. This is designed to take the 4% X 34 roll Olm-the world's most popular film size, obtained everywhere and it will make twelve negativos, cach 24 inches square, on every eight-exposure film. There is n Aim-counting Indlentor at the side of the camera to allow when each of the twelve frames is in position for the exposure. The film is wound forward by turning a knob Instead of the ingenious lever used
in the Rolleiflex.
