[LargeFormat] Really Large Format!

[Les Newcomer]

No. that camera was designed to take photographs of locomotives, this camera
was stuck inside a wearhouse photographing flat objects for printing in
newspapers and rotograveurs, hence the looooong bellows.  If I remember
right, Time Life said that the railroad camera was demolished.
