I had heard the term "Soldier's Camera" but I didn't associate it with the autographic model.<br /><br />I sent you an email also.anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-47615842162470293882013-03-27T15:22:18.046-05:002013-03-27T15:22:18.046-05:00Sorry, finger trouble.

These indicate that the "breakdown" negatives are A122 film, and were taken with a No #A Autographic Kodak, while the seaplane print is probably from A127 film, used in a Vest Pocket Kodak, otherwise known as the Soldier's Camera. I hope you don't mind if I link to these from my Autographic article, <a href="http://photo-sleuth.blogspot.co.nz/2013/03/sepia-saturday-169-keeping-kodak-story.html" rel="nofollow">Keeping a Kodak Story</a>?Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-60519988025789699372013-03-27T10:23:32.339-05:002013-03-27T10:23:32.339-05:00Thanks Brett Payne.

Too often, negatives get mistreated and lost and don’t survive as long as the prints. <br /><br />There is a story I have told many times about a time when I worked in a Photography Shop in the 1950’s. A girl picked up her photographs finished by our lab. She fished out the prints and handed the envelope back to me, instructing me to throw it away. I asked if she wanted the negatives in the envelope. She said: “What do I want with those? I have the prints.” <br /><br />I have added the actual measurements to the page.<br />anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-7337710520968073672013-03-27T01:50:41.595-05:002013-03-27T01:50:41.595-05:00Any chance I can reproduce a couple of these as a ...Any chance I can reproduce a couple of these as a postcscript to my blog article (with full attribution, of course), please?

I guess it's telling that three were negatives! Do you have some measurements for these? That will tell us which of the Autographic cameras they came from.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.com
