- Dec 1895 The Bicycle
Equipment was marketed to persons taking
up the hobby of bicycling, which was extremely popular at this time, and
that the high-wheeled bicycle would be
used as the tripod. The
front standard of this model is metal, similar
to the novel/novelette, but
it does not have a novel-style revolving bellows, and the format is
fixed as horizontal. It has a threaded barrel, smaller in diameter
and having finer threads than a normal tripod socket, on its bottom into
which to screw it to the hardware that mounts onto a bicycle handlebar. The
Bicycle was discontinued between the
December 1895 and
August 1896 catalogs. But bicycling was still popular -
bicycle people must have been buying roll film cameras to the detriment
of the demand for the Bicycle. References:
