The Nimrod Automan series of cameras was introduced for the 1907 season. All of the cameras had the common feature of a front lens standard that came into position on the baseboard when the baseboard was pulled down. As the BJPA reported: 'this movement which, it will be remembered, was first introduced by the company some three years ago is now obtained by a much simpler mechanism, with the result that the cameras are placed upon the market at very moderate prices For hand camera work speed of opening the camera is an immense advantage, and we can conceive of no camera which can be more rapidly put into action than one upon the Automan principle'. Each model in the range had an increasing series of movements.
