Among the 126 film snapshot cameras made for Argus by Balda-Werk in Germany, the one with a wood-grain faceplate was the the fanciest. Its small shoulders must carry the load of its full weighty name, Argus Solid State Electronic Electric Eye Instant Load. (The model number 374 does not appear on the camera itself, just on the packaging.)
A CdS cell and two odd-sized PX825 batteries enable autoexposure in which the shutter speed can range from 1/300 to 18 seconds.
