				| Do we know which anniversary of which event the "Anniversary" in the series designation of the Speed Graphic series introduced in 1940 refers to? 
 Thanks.

				| According to my copy of Graphic Graflex Photography (8th Edition, June 1947, page 406) it was in honor of the 50th anniversary of camera making by Graflex.

 Ah! I had thought they started in 1897.
 
 Thanks so much.
