Notes:

      Its front is similar to an English style folding compact, but the extension rail only seems to be half the length of the bed.  Its two front rise-adjustment knobs are the same as in the Success Compact.  This camera features the centrally swinging rear standard patented by Nelson Wright Jan 23, 1866 (US52,239), at which time he was the partner of John Stock, early camera manufacturer (http://historiccamera.com/cgi-bin/librarium2/pm.cgi?action=app_display&app=datasheet&app_id=291 and http://historiccamera.com/cgi-bin/librarium2/pm.cgi?action=app_display&app=datasheet&app_id=837 ).
