“PALKO”- The World’s Greatest Photographic Instrument

(GROUND GLASS FOCUSING - ROLL FILM)

For many years camera enthusiasts were desirous for
something better than the usual camera; they wantea
better pictures, clearer details; they wanted to get away
from the common danger of double exposures and prevent
ruined films,

Now, they get this in “PAL KO.”

With a “PAL KO” you can take the kind of photographs
that expert photographers take with their high - priced
professional cameras.

\ aalW FOCUSING WITH THE “PAL Ko”

You focus the objects on “PAL KO” Ground Glass DIRECT before each exposure while the “PAL KO" is loaded
with the film—just as they do—but you do not have to bother with extra attachments or separate parts.
Everything is enclosed in “PAL KO” body and you can take the “CLEAR VISION PHOTOGRAPHS" instantly
—small size, medium size or full postcard size, also diversify them at will—iust as you desire.

“PAL KO takes three size pictures—3A postcard size, % or 14 of it, and that means 7 to 19 exposures on a
standard 6 exposure film roll—simply turn the KNURLED DISC and the negative size is changed instantly;
“PAL KO" DISTRIBUTES the film for either of these three sizes AUTOMATICALLY and PREVENTS
DOUBLE EXPOSURES—"PAL KO” THINKS and COUNTS for you.

It is impossible to make a Double Exposure with “PAL KO” without deliberately snapping the picture twice.
Also you cannot have WASTED BLANK FILM in “PAL KO” unless you again deliberately pull the film into a
position and then return it without making the exposure.

jure the mechanism in “PAL KO” unless
When the Ground Glass Door is open, the film cannot be moved—it is automatically
locked, and when the film is in a position for an exposure, the Ground Glass Door cannot be opened—it is
also automatically locked.

instruments "PAL KO" for the U. S. Government, and all the pictures came out won-
derfully. I noticed also that with "PAL KO" I can get exceptionally good detailed
definitions in pictures early in the morning or iate at night. Altogether we have
a total of five "PALKO" Cameras now in use and I am very giad to tell you that we
are more than pleased with their performance."

duties in my department, but with "PAL KO"

I am doing it splendidly. Frankly, T am

delighted with the unusual results’ from

"PAL KO."

Prominent authorities in photography state: “Plates are hard to carry and change, cut film is very awkward
and film packs so easily get strained and result in light struck pictures, but roll film is the most dependable

and safest.’
