"Tabloid", did start just as a design ( ovoid tablet ) and then started a war when compact papers stole the name. BW&Co. lost that, alas. But their developer, from around 1926 was superb: the cloudy solution still works almost 90 years later. Look at the small picture, that's 10% of the whole negative. (Shanghai GP3!)
In the course of events, Burroughs lost the exclusive right on the name "tabloid" because the court judges decided is was already a common word for the newspaper format around 1930. Was the "sketofax"leaflet part of the booklet which came with the developer? I love these old advertisements!
