Donald,Apparently, the Yankee Master II is still manufactured -- it adjusts to 16mm (as well as 35mm, 127, and 120). Rotary agitation only, but I've found recently that this works great with (at least Flexicolor) C-41, implying it's probably very good for B&W as well. Cheap, too, and only wants 5 ounces (about 150 ml) to cover 16mm; I may have to get one.
Donald,
Are you confusing the Yankee Clipper II with the Yankee Master series? The Master tanks are invertible, while the Clipper tanks are not. Note that many of us decry the recent Yankee Clipper II tanks' extremely poor fit. The original had a very good fit and included a generally accurate thermometer in its stirrer.
I urge followers of subminiature cameras to visit the 'Submini-L.groups.io' group which has undergone an upswing in interest.

The one I saw was a B&H side bar ad, for new tank, with print on the outside instead of solid black. Black reel, rotary agitation, around $25 -- might have been a Clipper II instead of a Master. This one doesn't include a thermometer, just a rotation insert.
Edit: yep, Clipper II -- this one...
110 film has those masks built in. I expect that was to accommodate some of the imprecision of some of the really inexpensive 110 cameras.Rollei A110, Fukkatsu 400
What is interesting is that if you look at the image, it seems that it could be wider as there is image 'bleed'. But this format ratio has been predetermined.

First, those pictures are really quite sharp for 110 size. The American flag is quite clear in frame 17.
Next, I measured my Minolta Autopak 450E frame size at 13+ by 19mm wide, a little wider than the width between the masking, so there will always be some overlap. Not a problem with reloaded cartridges.

If you reload cassettes with random 16mm film, or film slit from another size, you won't have either the frame numbers or the pre-exposed borders and will get all of the image that the film gate passes.

If I ever get around to mixing up the color chems i've had sitting here for the last year and a half I'll post some pics.
I have one of the older Clipper tanks with the clear top if you are interested Donald. I also found some of my Omega D2 neg carriers for all the weird sizes that I'll never use and I know you were looking for those a while back. PM me if you are interested.
I have about 15 Rollei cameras (including the broken ones Ha ha!) but I have never had a 110A. You images look fantastic!
Thanks! Here's a limited edition one for the low low asking price of $3250!!! Yes, three thousand two hundred and fifty dollars.

Darn, wish I would have seen that, I just bought a Hy6
lol. A 110 film camera that goes for about $50 for $3250 because it has brown paint. It would be incredible if it sold.
Just FYI 16mm shooters, I see that Film Photography Project store is selling 25ft. rolls of 16mm no perf film for $35 each. That is $2.20 a roll for a regular 20exp roll for Minolta cameras. Not the cheapest solution for B&W negative, but perhaps okay for those wanting to try out subminiature cameras without going whole hog. They offer color negative and ortho also.
That model was custom prepared for the Bitter Motor Car company and was included in their glove compartments. The cars were extremely expensive and thus few were made, making that model camera very rare.
