Nor is the name inscribed on the Automat II. The Automat I had the name inscribed on the outside of the lens which necessitated its deletion when the II and III came out with Bayonet I fittings on the viewing lens as well as the taking lens. At some point thereafter they put a name ring on the viewing lens.
