popular.
Around that time a British Company in Kingston-on-
Thames, Surrey, brought out the Compass, a wrist camera,
using 16-mm circular film, and in those early days the mid-
Europeans put out a ‘spy’ camera using this film which is just
about half the size of the 35 mm. A little later a man in Italy
invented another small instrument which has been called one
of the finest cameras ever produced, but for one reason or
another it did not receive the promotion necessary to get go-
ing, so it was never popularized. This camera was a Gami and
one of its features was that with each setting of the shutter
one might take three separate pictures. Whether that was a
good thing is debatable. I have seen some results of this in-
strument and I have to agree they came close to perfection in
quality.
