PALKO
NEW AND DIFFERENT
The Palko is a modern camera, rvith a new
name and combination of essential features
never before assembled in any photographic
apparatus. In spite of its many rare and de-
sirable qualities it is light, strong, compact
and distinguished in appearance.

In amateur photography the great advantageme of seeing the image in perfect focus, as well

ff; over-estimated. There are no dark slides or
separate parts necessary to accomplish this
result.
AUTOMATIC WINDING
You insist on having a self-starter on your
automobileo a self-filling fountain pen and
stem-winding watch. Why not be as particu-
lar in selecting a camera? The Palko offers
the same advanced service in photggraphy.
With dependable automatic film winding

idly and without the common danger of
double exposing. Few amateurs have escaped
this unhappy ending of a perfect photographic
duy.
DIFFERENT SIZE NEGATIVES
The Palko uses standard roll film that can be
purchased anywhere in the world from deal-
ers in photo supplies. One of the great ad-
vantages of the Palko is the ingenious mechan-
ism permitting the operator to take three sizes
of negatives in the same camera. (All size
exposures are central with lens. ) A ten ex-
posure film may be used in making ten large
pictures 37/+" x 5t/2" , fifteen of two-thirds
size37/+" x33/+", thirty of one-third size 3Y+"
x l3/+" , or any combination of these sizes, and
the six exposure film in the same proportion.
Each size can be focused accurately on the
ground glass. The size of the pictures can be
changed instantly by turning a knurled disc.

EXPOSURES COUNTED
Exposures are automatically counted by a
novel, reliable device which registers the
amount of film exposed, so that the length
of unexposed film can be easily calculated.
When all the film is exposed, simply opening
the loading door automatically returns the
recording dial to 0, ready for a new count.
