Re: [APML] Self hypering camera from Taurus and more

[George Anderson <georgea@cam.org>]

Interesting looking camera, but from the photograph I sense the
following...

1) No true film counter but maybe a flag that pops into view or up as
you turn the film advance knob. Frame positioning/spacing may not be
precise.

2) The shutter appears to be a dark slide that you pull up from the
center of the camera body.
