Hi Richard -
That same piece states that the lens is an 80/3.5... not
fast by any
criteria bit still the best information we have is that it
is a
double-gauss type...
I still think a 67/69 camera with an 80 similar to the
Ektar available
for the small Graphic cameras would have been a winning
combination,
and would not have competed with Fuji's "Texas Leica"
GSW690
rangefinder...

The 105mm, f/3.7 Ektar is essentially the same lens as
the 100mm f/3.5 lens on the Medallist. Its a Heliar type but
the patent claims that the extra element (beyond a Tessar)
is used to correct "rim rays" so as to allow better
performance at large openings. Kodak used this same design
for its 50mm and 75mm Enlarging Ektars and at least one of
the lenses for the Ektra camera, however, the Heliar design
doesn not seem to have been popular with other designers.
