The film thread path is quite unique.  The film metal magazines sit side by side inside the camera at the rear rather than the conventional one above the other. This gives the camera a low profile and makes the camera longer than most of the Edwardian era cameras.

The lens is a 50mm Bausch & Lomb Tessar F.3.5 to F32.  Patented February 24, 1903. The glass is quite clean and has no lens fungus. There is some slight oil film on the rear side of the front element but this is from the lens lubrication and could be cleaned and removed easily. Actually, I would shoot with this lens just like it is. I'm sure the low contrast image quality produced from this early uncoated lens would only be complimented while the image would not be degraded enough to warrant lens disassembly.

There is a wonderful little viewing tube on the front, camera right edge. It is set at a 45 degree angle and faces directly at the film gate. This is a focusing tube and is aligned so that one can look directly at the image on the film. If this image is in focus it is positively assured that the image on the film is in focus.
