"Pearl River" is a camera factory in Guangzhou in the 60's began to use the brand names, such as the early 60s produced in the Pearl River 60-I ,60-II 120 folding camera, produced in 67 years, Pearl River 4, 70 years, Pearl River produced seven Type 120 pairs of anti-camera, while the Mingguang, golden light that several military factories stayed indoors and mountains of Southwest China, and the Pearl River can be said that eight pole Dabu Zhao, then the camera why they produce would give up, "the United States and more" real name, instead using the "Pearl River" and become a scourge in the future does incur any eventuality? Reading of "338 Factory History", p. 79, I finally found the answer: March 19, 1974, Wah Ying Area of plants in 338 plant production collaboration will be held the camera. Council under the Ministry of Machine-5, Ministry of Foreign Trade Light Industry Import and Export Corporation and Guangzhou Import & Export Corporation and other units, the decision to the United States multi-brand prototype some improvements to make our products more perfect performance and style, open the export market. Fight for exports, to increase national foreign exchange earnings, avoiding duplication of foreign trademark registration, the meeting decided to borrow the export of the Pearl River in Guangzhou port camera series of trade marks, brand naming prototype for the Pearl River S-201 Model 135 single-lens reflex camera In order to avoid duplication of exports, registered trademarks, and so he mixed with a brand - one so simple yet so confusing reasons. However, if we use the logic of the planned economy to understand the words, this was renamed also come out ahead. In the planned economy, enterprises almost no concept of the brand, and even what is produced, how production by the government have the final say, not to mention a name, what kind of effect. In this way, the era of deeply imprinted with "Pearl River" single-lens reflex camera into the commercialization stage. However, the early years of production is not high, I have found from the factory in the history of such data: from 1975 to 1976 is a pre-production stage, the factory-made components produced by the camera 50; in 1977, to break down the production line, starting mass production, the year produced a total of 705 cameras.
