Your are welcome Jeff, but I read most of the info in the Prochnow
Report 1, he saw and overhauled the cameras at the Braunschweig
Municipal Museum, they belonged to the F&H Rollei Werke Museum and
were bought by the Municipal Museum during the bankruptcy, some of
these prototypes no longer were in the original condition because were
used for some experiments. I forgot to mention that Dr. Wandersleb
contact prints in the book were taken with Zeiss-Ikon Ortho Ultra Film
with the Tessar 3.8/100mm #1126934.
