torpedo camera pages etc. Re: actual vs ratio sizes

thanks for the numbers and info; I'll add them to the growing table and list;
typically formats are correct for ratios but not 6cm rather 55mm so 
longer axis ends up being shorter, e.g., 6x9cm is really 55-6mm x 82-84+mm)

re: ebay panoramic back - it does look like a torpedo camera back, as you say

see my torpedo camera pages (Jim Vilett's post) and sample pano photos 
and the *torpedo camera manual* and ads for the B&J panoram 120 
at http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/torpedo.html and 
http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/torpedo/index.html manual and
http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/torpedo/index.html sample photos (Jim's)

the back does look like the torpedo camera on the panoram 120 (B&J) etc.

not clear if this is just a Soviet/russian copy, parallel design, or 
another EBAY seller with bad info (can that happen?? ;-)...
