- After each exposure, the film advance mechanism also rotated the flashcube 90?to a fresh bulb.
- This arrangement allowed the user to take four images in rapid succession before inserting a new flashcube.
- A flashcube was a single-use module with four flashbulbs mounted at 90?from the others in its own reflector.
- The later Magicube ( or X-Cube ) retained the four-bulb format, and was superficially similar to the original Flashcube.
- In the late 1960s Kodak improved their Instamatic camera line by replacing the individual flashbulb technology ( used on early Instamatics ) with the " Flashcube ".
- Cameras requiring flashcubes have a round socket and a round hole for the flashcube's pin, while those requiring Magicubes have a round shape with protruding studs and a square socket hole for the Magicube's square pin.
- The success of the arsenic-grabbing media won Apyron recognition from the Water Environment Federation and a Top 100 design award from Research and Development magazine, which will feature the company in its September issue .
