- Description
- A Linhof Technika 4x5 metal camera. The front panel folds down and has the option to extend beyond 90 degrees - the lens plate mount slides out on tracks and can be adjusted by two gears, extending the bellows. The camera has a Technika Xenar 1:4,5 / 150 lens mounted. The back of the camera also folds down to show the exposure plate inside the main compartment - on the panel that folds down is some kind of leather hood and a depth of field table printed onto the panel. The main compartment of the camera has a leather handle on the left-hand side, a view-finder and mount for a flash on the right-hand side, another attachment mount and a circular level on the top, and a hole in the bottom where it can be fixed to a tripod - there is a second tripod mount in the front panel.

According to the instructions on the box, a sheet of tissue is to be trimmed to match the size of the print and then placed into a dry mounting heat press with the tissue between the print and the surface it is being mounted to. Once in place, the hot press applies heat and pressure, fusing the print to the mount without the use of liquid adhesives, which might create rippling.

The exterior of the case has the remnants of stickers and labels throughout, including a large red and white sticker on the front that reads “GLASS.” Attached to the handle by a piece of string is the torn remnants of a CP Rail paper tag. The interior of the box is lined with dark blue velvet and contains a wood particle board box that, when lifted out, exposes three built-in compartments - the small upper one on the right has an opening cut into the top so that the contents could be accessed without removing it from the case. The two smaller compartments of the box contain a miscellaneous collection of power cords and a white metal film canister containing two small light bulbs. Two cords are fed through small holes drilled between the compartments.Sitting on top of the particle board box is a sealed metal light switchboard with various switches, plug outlets, and coloured lights across the top - two more outlets are located on one short side. Resting on top is a strip of paper that reads “NO BATTERY IN TRIP CIRCUIT” in black ink. This switchboard would allow Morant to synchronize and set off studio lights and/or camera flashes from one central location. Also included in the box are two pieces of paper - one is an equipment checklist written on the back of a note card, and the other is a hand-written circuit manual in a plastic envelope.
