It consists of alight-tight box. In front of the box there is a hole, over which the lens isfixed. Behind this hole is the shutter. There is a second lens in a second boxabove it. This produces a picture on the viewfinder on top of the camera. In theback of the box is another hole covered by a red window. This helps you in winding the filmon, which you do by the knob at theside of the box near the top.”Ensign Ful-VueTheearliest Ful-Vue version of 1939 was a typical box camera with back door, but alreadyhaving the characteristic big viewfinder. Like other box cameras it had aback door and an inner camera part which could be taken out of the box to loadthe film. Pictures were 66cm on 120 film. The cameras had two shuttersettings; instant which was 1/30th of a second and time which kept the shutteropen until you pressed it again, all later models are the same.
