- Wooden case with buffer runners on the front, back, and along the bottom - the hinged lid has a leather handle and is held closed with two small screws. Throughout the exterior are various shipping stickers, usually from CP Rail, “34” is stenciled on all sides, and a wooden name plate with Nicholas Morant’s information is nailed to the lid. Morant’s information is also stamped in red ink on the inside of the lid, along with a Linhof sticker.Inside the case is a Linhof Aero Technika camera - a camera used in aerial photography - as well as two bundles of Kodak gelatin filters in plastic bags, a viewfinder attachment housed in a black and yellow cardboard box, two plastic-frame Linhof filter attachments in individual fabric bags housed inside a cigar box, and two short hook links - one metal clasps attached by cord and one open hooks attached with a metal chain. The camera is housed inside a pale grey metal case that leaves the back exposed - the section of housing that extends over the lens can be removed, but has small openings throughout in order to access it - another opening along the top at the very front of the lens housing allows the plastic-framed filter to be slid in. On either side of the camera are large black plastic hand holds - the left side one has an extra leather strap that fits over the back of the hand. Fitted into the left-hand grip is a remote trigger.
