Cigar-Box:
	Linked Label	RB-04

Text

This is the simplest form of Integrated Graphoscope with all three lenses in a rectangular face-plate the same size as the deck and the plinth. The three components are hinged so that they open in a Z-shape. They fold up flat in a cigar-box shape.

Lewis Round:
	Linked Label

W. H. Lewis's US patent #183,579, Oct. 24, 1876 has the same metal rods to extend the lens array as this version, but has the square lenses with the rectangular blinders, like what I am calling the "Lewis Square" (below). This version has a triad of round lens-frames in a cluster, like Anthony 1882 Pedestal Stereo-Graphoscope. An image of the 1876 patented version can be seen in Paul Wing's Stereoscopes.^[xxx]

 

Lewis Square:
	Linked Label

I am calling this "Lewis Square" because of the shape of the lens-frames. However, the more significant difference is the mounting of the lens-array on the end of the hinged top of the box. The two image-plates (near, metal one for stereographs and further, wooden one for non-stereo photos) slide on steel rods for adjustment.
