The introduction of 110 cameras in 1972 saw the demise of many 16mm formats. The 110 cartridge is loaded with paper backed film in a large cartridge, much larger than the popular Minolta 16mm format. The film is also not held flat and full advantage of the 13x17 negative not made. The distinction was that Kodak got many manufacturers to produce cameras and hence other film manufacturers sold 110 film cartridges. More features where added and the size of these cameras became larger and more expensive. The more popular 35mm cameras were becoming smaller and simpler to use. So the market for 110 dissipated.  See the article "Brief 110 History".
