  Minox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minox, the archetypal sub-miniature camera, was invented by Estonian engineer Walter Zapp of Riga, Latvia, in 1936.
The Minox was used by both Axis and Allied intelligence agents during World War II.
The Minox cameras use 8x11mm film in a small cartridge containing a strip of film 9.2mm wide, one-quarter the size of 35mm, capable of holding up to 50 frames.

 Minox Historical Society - Encyclopedia - Walter Zapp
Walter Zapp, inventor of the Minox 8 x 11 camera, was born in the town of Riga, Latvia, on 4 September, 1905.
Minox had already established a foothold on the British market with the formation of Minox, Ltd., in London.
Minoxes were being imported for sale in America, although prices had increased in direct response to the hostilities, almost doubling in some cases.

Minox was not one of the first manufacturers to rush out with a 110 camera in hand when the floodgates opened in 1972 after the introduction of the Kodak Pocket Instamatic line of cameras.
The time taken in carefully assessing the market for, and capabilities of, the new line of cameras paid off handsomely when Minox made the decision to proceed, because they understood what was lacking in the current crop of cameras available.
