Improvements in Photographic Cameras.
EDMUND GILYARD Cycle Maker 76 Barkerend Road Bradford and HARRY
COUSEN Camera Maker 60 Otley Road Bradford. We do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to the part of a photographic camera, known as the turn-
table, by our method, we claim to be able to get every movement possible, &
neccesary, to get things within the focus of lense. We employ a hollowed dish A.
of metal, or other suitable meterial, with hollow downward, with a flange set back
to screw to camera baseboard. A screw E is fixed in centre of hollowed dish,
another hollowed dish B to fit first named, with large hole in centre. A washer D
to fit screw E & cover large hole in second dish. A nut to fit on screw to fix the
dishes together in any position.
We cut second dish at 3 divisions C & turn down corners, & drill holes or fix
pins, as may be required to fit the various forms of tripods.
Our invention is intended to dispense with the loose tripod head, to which camera
legs are usualy attatched. When the camera has to be erected for use, we fix a
hollowed dish of metal A or other suitable meterial, with hollow downward, with a
flauge set back to screw to baseboard of camera. A screw is fixed in the centre of
hollowed dish, another hollowed dish B to fit first named, with large hole in centre,
a washer D to fit screw E fixed in first named dish, & cover large hole in second
dish. A wing or milled nut, to fit screw fixed in first named dish to hold the parts
together in any position.
