Chronology of cameras L exemplaire 

L'exemplaire is a registered trademark by 3 Suisses in 1985 and again in 2000.

It can be suggested with little risk of error that this device was offered as a promotional gift. The association with Concord as the manufacturer was made possible thanks to the crowned C-shaped logo found on other devices explicitly bearing the Concord name.

FlipflashFlipFlashFlipflash

The Flipflash is a vertical bar with 8 flashbulbs. At each end, there is a notch to attach it to the camera. The eight bulbs are divided into two sets, each corresponding to one of the notches. After the first four bulbs are used, the bar needs to be rotated 180°.

The Flipflash has the advantage of distancing the flashbulb from the lens axis, which reduces the red-eye effect.

The patent 3,937,946 published on February 10, 1976, filed by General Electric (with inventor Kurt H. Weber), presents the Flipflash. It builds upon several earlier patents for multi-lamp flashes, but those were arranged horizontally.
