Rada
This article is a stub. You can help Camera-wiki.org by expanding it.
Former manufacturer of plate and film holders in Frankfurt a.M., Germany. Started out around 1900 [1] as a manufacturer of sheet metal toys and storage cabinets, expanded into film holders in the 1920's. In later years, all Rada holders also carried a Plaubel logo, so they presumably had merged some time in the fifties. The last catalogues listing Rada holders seem to date back to the 1970s, but Plaubel still exist.
The former address:
Rada- Metallwarenfabrik
Frankfurt A.M. - RÖDELHEIM
In der Au 14-16
has been the longest standing squat/alternative lifestyle project in Frankfurt, since 1983[2], so Rada must have left years before that. No traces of Rada's activities seem to be visible by now.
