ABSTRACT:
A method of making a single-use camera with an electronic flash unit from previously used camera parts, comprising the steps of loading an unexposed-film cassette into a cassette-receiving chamber of a used main body part, locating an electrically conductive area of the film cassette against a pair of spaced electrical contacts of a flash circuit of the flash unit to cause the conductive area to bridge the spaced contacts to complete the flash circuit, and positioning a used rear cover part on the main body part to make the main body part light-tight for unexposed film withdrawn from the cassette. The method discourages unauthorized recycling of the single-use camera.
