The mechanism

insures

you

against making

that

common mistake-a

on one

frame

of

film).

After making

each expo-

sure

(taking

a

picture),

it is nec-

essary to turn

the winding knob,

thus

advancing

the

film,

another

exposure

can be made.

one or both windows,

Pictures, either indoors or out, can be

of

a Kodalite

Flasholder and

flash lamps.

Either

"C"

size

batteries or a

Kodak

B-C

Flashpack

may be installed in the Flasholder as

a

unit.

The Kodak

B-C Flashpack

is

a

battery-condenser

method of flashing

lamps

which

gives

longer

battery

life and more

de-

pendable

bulb-firing.

Flash lamps for

use with the

Kodalite

F lash-

older must

be

either the SM, SF, No. 5

or No.

use of the SM or SF lamp

is

preferable

if there is a

possibility

that

the

subject

move.

The No. 5

give a little
