Chronology of cameras Canon
In 1972, Canon released a second Canomatic, the M 70.
The 126 format remained popular during those years. This small and simple camera is equipped with an electric motor for automatic film advance. Its lens is a 2.8/40 mm.
It provided a setting that I would describe as automatic and another for shooting with a flash cube.
Flashcube
The Flashcube is covered by the patent 3,327,105, published on June 20, 1967. It was filed by Sylvania, an American company from Massachusetts. The inventors are Franklin D. Kottler, Clifford G. Vroom, and Dean M. Peterson.
The Flashcube is a set of four bulbs protected by a transparent plastic cap, designed in the shape of a cube. Under the base of the cube, two metal wires establish contact with the electrical circuit of the camera for each of the bulbs.
The patent 3,327,106 filed by Sylvania on June 20, 1967, and with Franklin D. Kottler as the inventor, defines the connection method for cameras. Patent number 3,335,651, filed by Kodak and with Franklin D. Kottler and Francis A. Williams as inventors, explains the rotational system of the Flashcube for cameras utilizing it.
Several other patents from the same era indicate that Franklin D. Kottler worked for both Sylvania and Kodak.
