Chronology of cameras Argus
The Argus A3 introduced a new design, distinct from that of the C3. The lines were more streamlined, inspired by the streamline, and were the creation of Clinton H. Harris. The patent application No. 2,378,406 covers not only the design, which is addressed in patent No. 127,996. Clearly, the description encompasses a camera that could be manufactured and assembled at a lower cost. To achieve this, certain parts of the camera are pre-assembled. This includes the module containing the lens, shutter, and frame counter. The modular structure offers the advantage of allowing multiple assembly combinations. Clinton Harris specified that he preferred to use the focusing mechanism (patent No. 2,357,326) and the frame counter (patent No. 2,358,327), for which he had previously filed patents.
Inside the A3's housing, there is an extinction meter.
