"I have an example of the replica of the 1888 Kodak camera made in Bradford to celebrate the centenary of the camera's introduction and the 1989 opening of the Kodak Museum at the (then) National Museum of Photography Film and Television.…"
"John - thanks for that suggestion. It is the diagram I need right now, but that image is also useful.
Edith - you might well assume that but I haven't yet, so thanks for the suggestion."
"Are we to assume that you have already contacted the George Eastman Museum in Rochester NY?
I would think that their Technology Department or their Library rare book collection would have a copy of this brochure or they would know where there is…"
"Not exactly what you seek, but there is a reasonably detailed brochure, with an illustration of the roll mechanism, as #1888-2 in the "Digitized Kodak Catalog Project" CD. A version of it is also…"
