Mid Century Graflex Inc Cut Film Magazine Bag Mag w 12 Septums 4" x 5"

Description

Mid 20th century Graflex Cut Film Magazine. Black metal body with black leather changing bag, ruby red view window under front flap, protective slide on back, built in sliding rod, and 12 metal septums numbered with white painted Arabic numerals. Made by Graflex Inc. circa 1946-1955.

"The Graflex magazines are designed to carry 12 metal septums. Each septum is numbered on the back, the number appearing at the ruby window in the back of the magazine as each exposure is made. When a film or plate is exposed the septum is drawn into a leather changing bag attached to the end of the magazine, by means of a sliding rod, and reinserted by hand into the rear of the magazine. The films or plates are held in the septums by means of the flanges... The embossed ridge underneath serves as a means to keep the film or plate against the retaining edges of the flange and in the plane of focus."
