Eric and Richard,
I never said that it was a Goerz Hypergon. I picked up this bubble- like lens from a GI returning from WW2, in 1945. Among the goodies I got from him besides this lens was a few Walther pistols.
When I took the lens to my High School Photography instructor, he thought for a while that it was a Radiometer, but then saw the pneumatic tube and bulb that made the "star" spin. If our member Les Clark was in the Bx. H S of Science Camera Club in 1946, he probably saw it when I brought it in to show.
I have read descriptions of this lens many years ago. Kingslake spoke of it at a symposium over 50 years ago.
