Chronology of cameras Agilux
Agilux is a brand of Aeronautical & General Instruments Ltd1.
This company, based in Croydon, south of London, since 1915, initially manufactured military and civilian radio equipment. During the 1930s, the production diversified to include signaling equipment, electric navigation, radio, broadcasting, etc. During World War II, AGI produced various cameras for the Royal Air Force, the Agiflite.
After the war, the expertise was used to manufacture some models of civilian cameras under the Agilux brand, initially quite classic, then a little more original in shape or material of manufacture. AGI abandoned civilian photography in the 1960s.
1 The company still exists in 2021, now based in Poole, Dorset.
This simple camera made of plastic is similar to the Ilford Sprite. Only the front face around the lens is different. We're so far from the first cameras made by Agilux after the WWII. It's even hard to say who is the real builder: Agilux or a subcontractor.
