Introduced around 1890 in quarter-plate and 5" x 4" sizes. The earliest models in quarter-plate were fitted with a 5 ½" T.T.H. lens, after a short time a 5 ½" Ross Rapid Symmetrical was substituted. Other lenses were fitted and further improvements made in the following years. The rise and cross movements were not present on the early models, they are positioned close to the back of the camera rather than being a 'cross front' movement. Stereo and half-plate models was added in 1894, production ceased around 1898.

On this example the door to the changing box compartment is stamped '1896 pattern' .
