It still makes me kind of sad to pass by the Kodak Film Headquarters here in Hollywood. At one time, it was a 24 hour a day operation; now, it is empty and up for lease as a movie/TV production campus. You mentioned changing film; I remember the old Kodak box camera, known as the Brownie:




Our family had one and used it for many, many years. I still remember using the flash attachment and having to handle white hot flash bulbs as I changed them between shots...

I seem to recall a model that had not a rotating cube, but a strip of flashes that would go off in order as you took pictures...
