This was the earliest camera from Electronic Products Mfg. Co., later and better known for their metal rangefinder Vokar I of 1946. This simple Bakelite folder had a couple of unusual features: the bottom-mounted wind knobs, and the "Variocoupled" exposure control. This was apparently a linking of shutter and aperture settings into a primitive manual version of programmed exposure. The camera was not originally identified as "Vokar A," but this distinguishes it from the later Vokar B which had metal top & bottom plates.
