It remained part of the company until it became a self-standing credit union in Three more stories were added in It is also responsible for easy-to-shoot home movies and the introduction of digital photography.
Here is a brief look at the history of Kodak and how the company plans to find its footing in the 21st century. The history of Kodak starts with the Eastman Dry Plate Company, where owner George Eastman created single-shot sheets of paper covered in photographic emulsion. William Walker, who was also an expert in photography, started working for Eastman in The two men invented a holder for a roll of the company's photo plates in While this was happening, fellow inventors Hannibal Goodwin and Emile Reynaud were also making amazing advances in photographic technology on their own.
The former designed a transparent nitrocellulose film base in , while the latter perforated nitrocellulose film. In , Eastman combined all of these ideas to invent the first mass-produced rolls of transparent photographic film. When it came to business, Eastman's approach was simple.
Then, he counted on the sales of consumables, such as film, chemicals, and paper, to generate massive profits. This strategy proved successful! Surprisingly, Eastman did not invent the 35mm film used in the motion picture industry.
That innovation is credited to long-time tinkerer Thomas Edison, who decided to trim 40mm filmstock while working with Eastman in The choice of the company name is a big part of Kodak's history.
His only criteria was that the name should be short, easy to pronounce, and not bear any resemblance to names that already existed. Once Eastman trademarked the name Kodak, he released his first Kodak Camera in It came preloaded with a roll of paper film that had the capability to shoot photographs.
Once finished, customers would send Eastman back their cameras. He would load them with new film and develop the used roll. The Kodak Camera was so simple to use that it created the new hobby of amateur photography. Eventually, the original camera was replaced with a collapsible model that required nitrocellulose film; and in , pocket-sized camera was marketed. However, Eastman's crowning glory would come in the form of The Brownie, a cardboard camera that sold for only one dollar—an invention that would overtake the market in massive proportions.
The 20th century is the time in the history of Kodak when its popularity and profits soared.
