And with that, we've gone straight from Oscar Wilde to George Orwell.

It's definitely a bellows camera. Always has been," one user comments, while another adds,"This is wrong; the speed camera symbol is explicitly supposed to evoke a Hasselblad-style camera with bellows, immediately recognisable at the time as a camera.
