Company History:
Thornton-Pickard Ltd was a well known British camera manufacturer established in 1888. The company was an early pioneer in the development of the camera industry.

The Thornton-Pickard company was founded by John Thornton and Edgar Pickard in Manchester, in 1888. The innovative \"Time & Instantaneous\" shutter was designed and patented by Thornton in 1892.

This shutter design was also licensed to a number of other camera makers.

Following the death of Edgar Pickard in 1897, Thornton formed a new company called the Thornton Film Company. In 1913 Thornton emigrated to the United States, and went on to patent a three-colour cine film that was manufactured under license by Eastman Kodak.

Thornton-Pickard\'s successful \"Imperial Triple Extension\" model was introduced in 1913 and during the First World War, the company produced a number of cameras for military use and particularly for the Royal Flying Corps, including the Hythe MkIII Gun Camera.
