The Tynar was a camera for 16mm film. It used 16mm film in metal cartridges. It was offered by Phil Kalech Co., Chicago, and by the "Tynar Corporation" which had plants in Chicago, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and New London, probably also the maker of the camera. It was advertised as delivering cheap prints: 1 US-Dollar for fourteen 2½×3½" prints from one film, including its development, what all together had to be made in one of the four Tynar laboratories. The cassettes were marked "property of Tynar Co.". Maybe these cassettes (Film magazines) were refilled in the plants with the Tynar Panchromatic film.
The camera had a collapsible two-frame viewfinder, a film advance with exposure counter, an achromatic anastigmat lens and choice between apertures f6.3, f11 and f16.
