It was thirty years ago and I had difficulty winding until I sent the back
away to have a larger-radius roller fitted. Not very helpful at this date.
However I saw an advert on the net when I was trawling with COPERNIC which
mentioned a quarterplate Speed Graphic offered with a rollfilm back by a
dealer in the USA whose prices were above UK prices but things were offered
that UK dealers have never heard of. Possibly a US reader of this can help
with information.  Philip
