Chronology of cameras Newman and Guardia
Traduction de Manuel M
This very strange camera is seldom presented in its folded up position. The publicity shows it to us in this posture. That makes it possible to understand that to fold up it, it is necessary to disunite the bellows of the plate which supports the lens. On engraving, a round part is seen. It is undoubtedly enough to raise it to separate the elements. The bellows must be folded up along the body of the camera. The front plate remains connected to the body of the camera by two arms. At the junction of the arms and body, there is a lock; by moving it, that give free the articulation. The plate can then be brought back to 90° of its starting position. It then comes to be plated itself at the top of the body.
If the overall dimensions is an interesting factor, the setting would be rather an against-argument (but undoubtedly not at that time, where the view cameras do not have yet an automatic setting of the bellows).
