SGML-- Presumably this means "Czech"; conceivably it means "Slovak" or "Czech and Slovak". Anyway, there was no "Czechoslovak" language. --
The text was in Czech AND Slovak. According to Cupog, the words on the camera were chosen to have the same meaning in both languages. While a Czechoslovak language does not exist, it could be considered a Czechoslovak edition of the camera.--driesvandenelzen 09:42, 19 January 2007 (EST)
SGML-- What frame size, what film? I hazily (mis)remember that back in those very early days, the backing of 120 wasn't marked for 6x6. Says Hoary. The original Rolleiflex using 117 film was made from 1928 to 1932 and it switched to 120 film in 1932, so 120 film was marked for 6x6 from this date. --
I remember the same thing. BUT. (1) suggest back numbers were present in 1895. Since 120 Roll film was introduced in 1901 (2), this cannot be direct proof for back numbering on 120 film. However, the Pocket Kodak No. 1 series II, whilst using A120 film, had been using a ruby window for framecounting. It was discontinued in 1932, so I suspect framenumbering had been around long before 1932.--driesvandenelzen 10:06, 19 January 2007 (EST)
