I have one in the loft. I will dig it out and take a pic. Bought it in a boot sale years ago as a momento of days gone by.

I think I need a clue. Is it something to do with recording an image on a substrate made from cow bones and silver?

I reckon it an aid to photography rather than a camera itself.

Am I on the right track?

Stephen,

I used to use it with my folding camera that had an adjustable lens.

Hmmm, DOF finder or focus aid?

Can't quite accept the answer but very close with one of them.

Arr, you're killing me!

I am going down the focus avenue, is it a focal point aid?

Stephen, it is really appropriate that you are posting here.

Next clue, I had to come up with an appropriate one here : Nikon made these years ago ..... think about that, and they were about 15ft long and were not used for photography.
