Clive,

I have what I expect to be a similar item-- a tele Dagor. This is
nothing more than a 6" Dagor is mounted in front of a tube that has a
negative element in side, as you move the element closer to the rear of
the dagor the image is dispersed over a greater area and therefore has
the same effect as a longer lens. The range is 3-8x but useable range is
4-7x since the 3x doesn't cover 4x5 and the 8 stop loss at the other end
leaves me a bit thin. But it's small-- 2.5" dia sector shutter and about
6" long.  A frend of mine has a Tele Protar fwith a 3-8x tube on a 12"
protar.  I still haven't seen the results of a 96" lens that can cover
more than 8x10
