Thanks guys, it was the Agfa Rapid system I was thinking of.I think I was given some early Agfa version of a point and shoot which incorporated this.

sounds like you're referring to the rapid cassettes, a system developed by agfa i think in the 1930s. iirc, they would eventually (1950s, i guess?) incorporate a film speed setting feature similar to that used on the later 110 cassette. i've read somewhere that agfa didn't invent rapid cassettes, per se, but rather adapted them from a ansco design.
