Thanks Siu and Richard,
It seems straight forward enough. I didn't know about adjusting the
taking lens for infinity and that is good to know. I do have the cut
sheet back and some cut sheet holders but alas, no ground glass
insert. Cambridge Photo has a ground glass insert on eBay
(7623640219) for $149.99. That seems steep for just this single use
although I supposed sending out the camera would cost about as much.
I do have a ground glass from another Automat I could borrow for the
procedure. At least the cut sheet back would give me a tripod mount.
So now I have to decide if I should purchase this ground glass insert
- it would fill out the cut sheet kit.

Is there a simple procedure (besides

the web other than just a reference on Photo-net. Thanks for your
time.
I did this in the past with on some Rollei with the glass-plate
adapter and ground glass. I guess you can do this with a regular
ground glass as well. Just put a ground glass on rear of the camera
where film should be and focus in something far away by opening the
shutter and aperture. Focus knob should be on infity, if not then
you have to re-adjust. Now just adjust the viewing lens till the
image is perfectly focused on the focusing screen and you have both
lenses synchronised.
Hope this helps,
Siu Fai
