This is a nice Rolleidoscop, if you put the camera
vertical in your mind, the design relativeness with
the Rolleiflex TLR is evident.
Gustav Bethman, a very young technician, received
instructions from R Heidecke to "short" a Rolleidoscop
and then the Rolleidoscop right chamber was removed,
this first TLR prototype was enough to convince Paul
Franke that a compact and cheap TLR camera could be
developed.
After the demonstration for his partner, Heidecke
noticed that it was much more easy to handle the
prototype vertically and then a lot of work, new tools
and money was invested to adapt the shortened
Rolleidiscop to two vertical chambers, one for the
viewfinder and other for the film with vertical film
advance.
For years the Heidoscop and Rolleidoscop users used
them as normal camera capping one lens, after the
other and advancing the film after these two shots,
this way to use the stereo cameras was the compact TLR
design origin:

All the best
