Some Technikas have range finders that have a cam for each
lens. I think the cam fits in the bed of the camera but am not
sure. You need the cam only if you want to use the rangefinder
and certainly do not need it for ground glass focusing.
There are a number of Linhof instruction books at:

The above is not too different from late classic Linhof
cameras. I can't find instruction books for the older cameras but
somehow think I've seen them on line.

Thanks Chauncey. Just had a salesman try to tell me you needed the cam to mount the lens. The only pictures I have ever seen of a cam appeared to be a wire structure to use it as a rangefinder.--
