The Traid Fotron? About the size of a (n American) football, it included a built in electronic flash, and this was in the early 60's, which required a 3 day charge up if you wanted to shoot more than 2 films a day! There was motorised wind on but the saddest part was the fact that the films only contained 10 shots a go and produced 25mm square piccies on 828 film!! Hey those American designers had it made!
