Thanks, Ed. The camera is actually a Graflex Crown Graphic. Perhaps you
can teach me this trick for use with the thousands of Roberta Hill
Pittsburgh photos I have (where the negatives are missing.) 

Speaking Ms. Hill, I am offering some of her (non-Pittsburgh) work on
eBay. Here is a link to the auctions:

I am hoping more negatives surface. There may be more in DC area antique
shops, though we fear most were lost.
