The camera body is constructed from wood, with leather covering and bellows and measures approximately 140 x 110 x 50mm when closed. It has double-extension bellows, secured by hinges either side of the front standard, and significant front rise (controlled by a lever to the side of the lens and shutter assembly, rather than the more common knurled knob at the top of the 'U' standard) and cross movements. The drop bed is provided with a patch of velvet that faces the lens when closed. As well as ground glass focus, there is a [[brilliant finder]] with spirit level and a focus scale on the drop bed with a click-stop for infinity when erecting the front standard. Typical lenses were Aldis Uno or Plano Anastigmats set in Ensign-Sector [[everset]] shutters.
