Bicycle Kodaks

[compur]

The predecessors of the dashcam?

Read about them here:
Bicycle Kodaks / Eastman Kodak Co.

Neat!

Looks like a carbide lamp to me, so that makes it the predecessor of an electric headlamp.

According to the book you posted a link to that is a bicycle case. Kind of like a small trunk for a camera.

Did you know these ones ?

Yes, there are camera cases in the book as well as a number of cameras that go in the cases. The book is called "Bicycle Kodaks" not "Bicycle Kodak Cases." At the time that book was written the word "Kodak" was synonymous with "camera." Many people referred to all cameras as "Kodaks" regardless of who made them.

There is also a photo in the book that appears to be taken from the road. I'm guessing it's from a bicycle and I think we can be sure that photo wasn't taken with a camera case. Most likely it was taken with a camera -- a Bicycle Kodak camera.

Love it! My son and I had our cameras on our bikes today. It was a blast. It's easier to sneak up on wildlife on a bicycle than a motorized vehicle.

The bicycle, the camera holder or both?
