Gentlemen:
There is only one way to settle this for sure. I propose that we cross a Rollei
T with a Rollei GX. By carefully observing the offspring, we should be able to
determine the extent to which Rollei F genes play a role. Not being a
geneticist, I leave the mathematic ratios to those who know these things.
But,if no Rollei F characteristics are obvious in the first generation, we can
always cross members of the first generation with each other. Again, i will
leave the ratios to those that understand these things. I should think,
however, that even a single first or second generation Rollei T with a Rollei F
winding mechanism should prove fairly conclusive. Of course, if no subsequent
Rollei offspring demonstrate a Rollei F auto film mechanism, that would be
proff too, no?
My one suggestion would be to cross an early gray Rollei T rather than a later
one. But there is one problem I can not think through on my own; for the
Rollei F.....should we use a 2.8 or a 3.5? It occurs to me that we might try
cross breeding both with a Rollei T (3.5) just to see if there is a variation.
There is one more concern--which may be nothing at all. Do you know of a good,
accurate and reliable Rollei Breeding Station whose results we can all trust?
Isn't anyone going to offer to help me clean out my downspouts??
Regards, Jerry F.
