See "Spy Camera" page 64-65 Michael Pritchard and Douglas St. Denny.
Rubix cameras were made by Sugaya Optical Works in Japan. The cameras are better made than most of the post war Japanese subminiature production and shaped like a tiny Leica. The Rubina Sixteen and Rubix III could use either 17.5mm roll film (like the various "HIT" style cameras) or 16mm film in cassettes.
The final model from Sugaya Optical company had the features of the earlier Deluxe but the film counter marked to 50 and a body mounted shutter release. It is marked Model III.
