By 1878, George Eastman had invented a machine to coat dry plates and, with local inventor Henry Strong, set up the Eastman Dry Plate Company in 1881. In 1884, Eastman changed the name to Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company when he began experimenting with paper and film bases. ‘Kodak’ was first registered as a trademark in 1888, and the Eastman Kodak Company or ‘Kodak’ was founded in 1892. The first manufacturing plant outside the US was set up in Harrow in 1891. The Ilford Sprite 35-II is a wonderful entry-level film camera from Ilford! It continues the 'Sprite' heritage from the 1960s original model, and will meet the needs of people experimenting with 35mm film and looking for a camera that’s ‘no frills’ simple. A Ensign Selfix 16-20 with Ross Xpres 75mm f/3.5 lens in Epsilon shutter. This is the second model, characterised by its metal top housing. The viewfinder was a frame finder with a frame projected in the viewfinder, which gave a better defined film frame. Other interesting features were the viewfinder which would pop open automatically when pushing the front door opening button, and the double-exposure prevention. Ensign Multex
