Albion Variation 2

6.5 x 8.5



 

Date Introduced: - ; Years Manufactured: c.1897
Construction: telescoping bed focus via rack and pinion (gear tracks hidden); single front and double back swing; reversing by removable back
Materials: mahogany body; mahogany bed; black fabric bellows; brass hardware
Sizes Offered: #550=4¼x6½; #551=5x7; #552=5x8; #553=6½x8½; #554=8x10
Notes: This variation is identical to the Albion Variation 2, except that it has a normal tripod socket rather than the built-in tripod head, and that it has a spring back rather than the flip-up back that are present in Albion Variation 1 and Albion Variation 2.  Both these differences from Variation 1 and Variation 2 would be less expensive to produce and therefore this variation is assumed to be later than the others.
