Manufactured by Eastman Kodak Co. - Rochester, Monroe County NY
Assigned to Eastman Kodak Co. - Rochester, Monroe County NY

Abstract: My present invention has for its object to provide an improved panoramic camera in which different portions of the sensitized surface, such as film, are successively exposed to the action of the rays of light passing through the lens, said lens preferably rotating upon a vertical axis coincident with its center or at the point where the ray s of light cross; and it consists in certain improvements in the casing whereby the film may be readily applied and removed and to certain improvements in shutter mechanism and also to certain details of construction. Claim: In a panoramic camera, the combination with the front board having a front opening, and a rearwardly-extending top piece there-on, rearwardly-extending boards secured to the front board curved at the rear ends to form a film-support, and open-sided film-chambers at the opposite ends of said sup-port, and motor devices for operating the lens-tube mounted on the extension of the front board, of the removable casing embodying the rear and the top, bottom and side pieces connected thereto, said side and bottom pieces cooperating with the front board, and the top cooperating with the rear edge of the top piece on the front board.

The wrench shank is six-sided; the sliding movable jaw has a slightly oblique hole, so that as pressure is applied to the jaw face, the sides of the hole bind against the sides of the wrench shank. A retaining pin keeps the jaw from sliding off the shank. A malleable iron "sliding wedge lock" wrench marked J.W. BREWSTER has been suggested as matching this patent.

Manufactured by Folmer Graflex Corp. - Rochester, Monroe County NY
Assigned to Rochester Panoramic Camera Co. - Rochester, Monroe County NY

Commercial production began in 1905 under the Rochester Panoramic Camera Company. By 1907, the patent and manufacturing rights were absorbed by Eastman Kodak (produced by their Folmer & Schwing division), and later by the Folmer Graflex Corporation. Abstract: My invention relates to panoramic cameras that is to say, it belongs to the class of photographic cameras which are revoluble upon a tripod or other support and are swung around by suitable mechanism in a horizontal circle or portion of a circle, thus bringing all objects at every point of the compass within range of the lens, enabling such objects to be photographically taken upon a sensitive film properly exposed and moved1 within the camera-hox. The object of my invention is to produce a camera of character stated having devices of special construction and arrangement by which the camera-box is revolved with greater or less speed, as desired, and the film given an appropriately corresponding movement. Claim: In a panoramic camera, the combination with a circular tripod-top, of a revoluble camera-box, a motor borne by the said top and arranged to revolve the camera-box, a feed-roll having an axis and a spool attached to the axis, and a flexible connection wound upon said spool and attached to said circular top whereby the revolution of the camera-box rotates the feed-roll and winds said connection about said circular top.
