History
1927 - Max Baldeweg founder of the Balda-Werk camera company of Dresden,Germany patented the Rollex roll film cassette. It was a staple in the Balda-Werk catalogs until the beginning of WWII.
1946 - Following WWII Balda-Werk Dresden found itself in East Germany and Max Beldeweg left for the West.
1952 - Linhof Precision Camera Work of Munich, Germany took up the Rollex name for their new roll film back which was an entirely new design from the 1927 Balda-Werk Rollex back.
1957 - Linhof changed the design again and re-named it the Super Rollex roll film back.
1960 - Linhof released a Cine Rollex back for 70mm perforated rollfilm. It used 56x72mm Ideal Format and 53 exposures were possible per roll.
1982 - Linhof released the Techno Rollex 6x12 for 120/220 film.
