Thanks to Dario for the chemistry!
PMC Automatc Rapid, half format camera with Agfa's Rapid cassette system and Selenium exposure meter.
It is based on the Ricoh-EE Rapid Half. The Ricoh looks much more elegant, it hasn't the accessory shoe, the automatic/f-stop ring is directly around the lens and it hasn't this leatherette on the front.
PMC is not the company founded by Henry Reichenbach, but stands for "Premie van de Maand Club", as I learned on this helpful side. The camera was rebadged by the Dutch grocer Albert Heijn.
The camera works like its forerunners, the Ricoh Auto Half series. Fixfocus lens with 4 elements, in A-mode the shutter speed is fixed 1/125 s and the f-Stop is set automatically, a "shutter speed priority automatic" with one shutter speed, so to say. For flash photography an f-stop can be set manually, then the shutter speed is 1/30 s.
The Selenium cell isn't completely dead, but seems to be a bit weak. In the film chamber is a needle which detects the film speed from the rapid cassette. Perhaps I can fool this needle and set it to 50 ASA while using a 400 ASA film, e.g.

This is a two-range selenium meter built in a Bakelite body with a metal plate on the front for the calculator, marked for film speed in ° Scheiner and /10 DIN.
This is not marked with any names apart from a small S in the bottom-left of the scale, but I'm guessing it's one of the variants of the Gossen Ombrux 2. The Ombrux 2 was introduced in c.1939; this guess and date is based on www.myphotoweb.com by E. van der Aa..
Anyone identify it more reliably?
There's some life in the cell when you press the low-range button, but very little on the standard range.
I'd forgotten I'd taken this back last August, but was reminded whilst looking at other meter pics today.

Very compact battery-less meter from the early 1960's. A reflective type, you could add an aluminum hood and perform incident light readings as well. This example is inoperative. That doesn't mean the meter cell is bad. Quite often, the wiring to the cell has weakened or corroded over time. No plans to repair, it's an elegant shelf-rider from now on.
Very simple meter with a little gem of a leather case. On the back there's a table to choose film and shutter speeds. That's about it. You turn the dial on the front until you match the needle with the scale.
This meter has a dead selenium cell or corroded wiring. Very common with meters this old. So what? It's a great looking meter that will go nicely with some of my old Argus cameras on display.
If you have more interest in old light meters, James Ollinger has a great web site full of information:
Yashicaflex S, one of the first Japanese cameras with a built in Sekonic light meter. Yashima 3,5/80 lens. Selenium cell visible , name plate flipped open. 1954. This is a later model than the two other Yashicaflex S models presented here.
A selenium meter coupled directly to the lens aperture ring is an interesting, if ungainly-looking, solution. The Schneider version seems to be a twin of the one offered on Isco lenses (a sister company).
The "Stop-O-Matic" series are specific to Exakta SLRs, as can be seen by the shutter release to the left of the focus & aperture index. Internal stopdown coupling is clearly the way forward and Schneider is now also offering "automatic diaphragm" lenses with that feature.

An overview of the different silver painted faces of the Metrophot and Metraphot exposure meters that were produced by Metrawatt around 1933. The model in the middle of the bottom row, the Metraphot 16, has a larger body than the other ones because a stronger(=larger) magnet had been used. Botton view.
Argus C3 "Matchmatic" with the selenium meter I so dearly love. Caution: using EV is a prickly business.

One of my first series of photos that I shot solely for the purpose of making a print series. They were originally shot on a rather nice early Saturday morning drive in August of 2014 through the Cleveland Flats and Industry Valley sections of the city.
The title comes from a specific bend in the Cuyahoga River in the Cleveland Flats that was notorious for a lot of collisions between ships navigating the river through the former industrial hotbed of the city.
