The slides are smaller than those used for a big lantern, measuring
9-nlV Ztr inches square. Directly a slide is dropped-into the'operdng oi
the top of. the.Lantern the Iight is switched bn automaticatty, ind,

equalled for showing the pictures you have taken to several people at

Roll Film Cameras.
The Daylight-Loading Roll Film
Camera 'in i'ts Si;mblest Form.;r
rffi HE outstanding feature of this type of Camera
is its extreme simplicity. The focus is fixed,
so that the beginner cannot fail to get good, l*,
bright, sharp pictures, even though the camera is
i$ being used for the first time.
The type of shutter fitted is very reliable, indeed
it is practically impossible to put it out of order.
i * The Cameras are loaded in daylight with spools
of Roll Film, containing material for six or a dozen
'pictures. This loading takes about a minute, and as
it can be done anywhere, no time is wasted when the,#
. _ F Camera has to be recharged. RoIl Film Spools are
obtainable everywhere, take up little space, and a
supply can be carried in the coat pocket.
Although more bulky than the folding type of
Roll Film Camera, the Box-Form trIodels are always
read,y for instant use, and have the advantage of being
very low in price, owing to the simplicity of their
construction.
