About
While the name Falcon originated with the Utility Manufacturing Company of New York, it was Chicago's Henry T. Schiff who was awarded a February 1939 US design patent on the streamlined Falcon Rocket camera for 127 film[1]. This coincides with Falcon's transition to becoming one of the sub-brands of the Jack Galter/Spartus empire. The Rocket body greatly resembles one illustrated in a camera patent filed by Galter in 1939[2] (although that model was to include batteries for flash sync).
