| − | The name '''Elbow''' was used on the Japanese 6×6 TLR [[Elbow Flex]] and 6×6 folder Elbow Six, marked ''ELBOW CAMERA FIRM''. Japanese sites say that the company's name was Elbow Shōkai (エルボー商会); the word ''shōkai'' means "company" or "firm" but is generally used for wholesale or trade companies, so this sounds like a distributor's name. Elbow's address was 文京区駒込東方町94,<!-- I might guess the reading of 東方町 but I don't know it for sure. Incidentally, the address no longer exists; I mean, Bunkyou-ku has been rearranged since then. --> in Tokyo. | + | The name '''Elbow''' was used on the Japanese 6 |
