Chronology of cameras Cornu
Traduction de Manuel M
Hybrid Richard-Cornu format 6x13. This camera confirms the information written by Bernard Vial who said that Cornu had been an engineer in Richard before being on his account. (Information that I never could to confirm one another).
Of the Verascope: the form, the rabbet for the magazine, the viewfinder, the button speeds, the lever of cocking. (which appears on a picture of a Verascope of 1909 for sheet-film in the volume III “Jules Richard, magic of the Relief”)
Of Ontoscope: square the exposure counter, the eyepiece of the viewfinder, the handle of the magazine
With a certain number of characteristics: blocking of the drawer, no viewfinder of chest, small door for the loading of the plates.
Lenses without brand, Focusing up to 1 meter. Diaphragmes 2 4 8 16 32 64.
Speeds ½ 5 25 50,100 on a button, P and I on another. A spirit level.
This model which does not comprise any identification appears neither in the catalog of Richard, nor with that of Cornu.
