Auteuil

The Auteuil was a 3x4 pseudo TLR sold by the French distributor Boumsell in 1947. It was an enhanced version of the Longchamp. It was marked Auteuil under the finder hood. Vial gives two lens/shutter combinations:

• Boyer Topaz 50/3.5 and Gitzo T-B-25-50-100-300, the same as on the Norca A and Norca B, marked Paris but not Norca (pictured in Vial)
• FAP 50/3.5 and FAP Rapid-Synchro shutter to 1/500

It was maybe made by FAP or by Monarch, see the Longchamp page. Both cameras wear the name of a famous French horse race track.
