== Description of the body ==
This camera has a wooden body, and is inspired from the [[Goerz Anschütz Ango|Goerz Anschütz (Ango)]]. The rectangular front standard is mounted on four flat struts hinged at the middle, and it seems that the bellows is single-pleated. The lens is mounted on a focusing helical with a focus tab. It seems that the front standard offers at least some vertical movement ability, and a screw is visible at the bottom to lock the lens plate in a definite position.

The rear part of the camera contains a vertically traveling focal-plane shutter, wound by a small key on the photographer's right. This shutter is said to give T, B, 15–1000 speeds.<REF> Speeds: {{SUG}}, item 1078. </REF> The position of the controls and of the release button is unclear. There is perhaps a nameplate screwed to the right end of the top plate.

The translator perhaps confused the word ''tokuchō'' (特徴, peculiarity) with ''tokkyo'' (特許, patent). </REF>
