In 1914 Eastman Kodak introduced the 3A Autographic camera. "3A" was code for the film format: 122 roll film that produced huge "postcard" sized negatives 5-1/2" wide by 3-1/4" tall, which is not much smaller than traditional 4x5 sheet film. The "Autographic" referred to the ability to impress with a stylus on the edge of the negative through a window on the back of the camera to identify the shot (like "Grand Canyon, July 14, 1915"). The impression would then show up on the developed negative which then could be printed as "postcard." 122 film was in production from 1903 to 1971. So, what is one to do if you want to use this camera today? One thing to do, as I have, is to modify it to use standard 120 film. This involves fashioning spacers for the 120 film spool (and take-up spool), masking the 3-1/4" down to about 60mm, and adapting the "autographic" window as a film counter window. After calibrating the film advance numbers for six rather than the usual twelve shots per 120 roll, you're in business to produce 6x14cm panoramic shots — great for the North Dakota plains or even group portraits.
