PALKO folding camera. Ground glass focusing roll film camera. From booklet: The Palko is a modern camera, with a new name and combination of essential features never before assembled in any photographic apparatus. In spite of it's many rare and desirable qualities it is light, strong, compact and distinguished in appearance.
GROUND GLASS FOCUSING: With this camera you can see the image, full size, on ground glass and focus direct, the same as with a plate camera. Yes ! focus between each exposure with the camera loaded and ready to snap the shutter the next instant.... There are no dark slides or separate parts necessary to accomplish this result.
AUTOMATIC WINDING: You insist on having a self-starter on your automobile, a self-filling fountain pen and a stem-winding watch. Why not be as particular in selecting a camera ? The Palko offers the same advanced service in photography. With dependable automatic film winding mechanism, exposures can be made very rapidly and without the common danger of double exposing. Few amateurs have escaped this unhappy ending of a perfect photographic day.
DIFFERENT SIZE NEGATIVES: The Palko uses standard roll film... the great advantage of the Palko is the ingenious mechanism permitting the operator to take three sizes of negatives in the same camera. (All size exposures are central with with the lens).A ten exposure film may be used in making ten large pictures 3 1/4 x 5 1/2, fifteen of two-thirds size 3 1/4 x 3 3/4, thirty one of one-third size 3 1/4 x 1 3/4, or any combination of these sizes, and the six exposure film in the same proportion.
EXPOSURES COUNTED: Exposures are automatically counted by a novel, reliable device which also registers the amount of film exposed, so that the length of unexposed film can be easily calculated. When all the film is exposed, simply opening the loading door automatically returns the recording dial to 0, ready for a new count.
Prices: No. 3A Palko f 7.5 lens with Llex General Shutter . . $75.00 No. 3A Palko f 6.3 lens with Llex Universal Shutter .. $90.00
