There is a short carrying handle at one end. A metal piece on the exterior says "OPEN ONLY WHILE WINDING". When opened up, the bellows expand and then the camera can be locked into an open position (allows it to sit free-standing on a table surface). There are some notations on a piece of paper affixed inside. The front of the camera (lens area) has an octagonal black-finished metal plate which has some calibrations and "No. 0 KODON" on it. The lens is ringed with "KODAK ANASTIGMAT F-63 100 mm". There are two viewing windows which pop up (spring action) on the side of the camera. There is a small silvertone push knob which opens the film-loading area. Thre is a piece of pink and black paper there on the reels. There is a small coloured label inside suggesting which film to use (Kodak Verichrome V-620, SS Pan S6 620, Panatomic F 620 or N.C. 620). The six U.S. patent numbers for it are present on the inner label. Canadian Kodak Co. Ltd., Toronto. |
