Jack prompted me to complete the section on Mec 16 manuals
Now at
http://www.submin.com/16mm/manuals/mec/index.htm
Besides the 16 and 16SB instructions also posted are Adox film sheet, an
advertisement and the magazine in English and in German Mec 16 news, Mec
16SB News and Mec Report. The pricelist of 28th April 1960 is from the
USA.
The 16 News is very much like the Minox Memo and Minox Freunds,

partly information and largely a sales vehicle for the manufacturer.
I do not know if this style was common but is an obvious way of making
up a community of users for these specialised and interesting cameras.
The Rollei brochure for the 16S
http://www.submin.com/16mm/manuals/rollei/index.htm
has more the appearance of the larger brochures from Minox and I am not
awear of any news or magazine for the 16/16s.
Mec news and report look like there may be more and perhaps stopped
because they stopped making the cameras. But so did Minox; perhaps for
the same reason - backing the 110 format and moving away from
subminiature cameras into 35mm.
The section on the Mec 16 cameras themselves has not yet been written
up.
