      And ALL FOR THE BETTER !!!  :-)   
      
      Though we still have our share of trolls/idiots.   
      
      Ah, cleaning out my office, found a Kodak #2a Autographic Junior   
      (130 film) a #1 Junior (120 film) and a couple of other folders.   
      Bellows look OK, but could spray black plastic 'rubber' inside   
      if there are any pinholes. Also a Kodak brown bakelite box   
      Brownie (620).   
      
      Found a vid on YT ... some guy took a #2a and made trick spools   
      and a mask augment so it'd work with 120 as a panoramic cam.   
      The 130 was a bit wider, ergo the need. He even took some pix   
      with it, not TOO bad considering the crude lens/shutter. 130   
      was "postcard size" around WW-1. Can't find the ISO ... maybe   
      100 ? Shutter speeds are 1/25 and 1/50   
      
      The Autographic is interesting - a small long hatch in the back   
      JUST big enough for a writ one-line note/date - which would get   
      burned into the edge of the neg.   
      
      Oh, one cam says "N.C. Cartridge 120" ... but extensive searching   
      does not explain what that IS. The "Cartridge" might just mean "roll",   
      not the pre-formed plastic cartridges more popular in the 60s/70s   
      InstaMatics).   
      
      All the folder cams were kinda 1915-1925 vintage plus or minus.   
      Must have found them in junk shops and then forgotten.
