Flash Cube

Flash Cube just came up last week with the kids. I was giving my wife directions to a friends new house and said "remember the intersection with the flush cube building".....She did, because we're both old now.......Anyway, the 11yr old pipes up "Whats a flash cube?".

Picture of the building from Google street view for context:

When I was a young’in my Mother had a camera like the one below that used individual flash bulbs…

And you had to wind the film into the camera from its light proof canister, then wind it back in after taking pictures.

I remember when the cartridge style film cameras came out…

The 110 size became the most popular and you could get the film in 100, 200, and 400 speed film to better suit the lighting conditions. These cameras all used the flash cube style flash bulb.

I still have my Minolta 110 underwater camera which had a shutter speed knob and a strobe flash..
