I have a list of cameras made by Eastman Kodak which
shows dates and film type. The earliest mention of 120 film
is for an Autographic Jr. camera made in 1914. Unfortunately
the list does not show formats so I can't tell from it when
2-1/4 x 2-1/4 started. It would be interesting to know but I
don't know of a source for the information. In any case, as
I said before, I think the location of the red window on the
Super Ikonta has nothing to do with the number of frames it
counts.
Your remarks about Zeiss-Ikon are an important reminder
that the two were associated but not the same company.
However, Zeiss-Ikon also had a reputation for quality, even
their box cameras were special.
