Some assistance, s.v.p.

Can a knowledgable someone settle the question of the differences 
between Wollensak and Revere lenses (there being two variations of 
lenses found on Reveres, no?)

I have heard several different accounts, ranging from the two being 
totally different optical designs (if so, what is the optical 
configuration on the Wollensak?), to there being no difference, with 
both of the camera's lenses being picked from the same production line, 
the claimed 1/2 stop difference in speed a ficticious one!

It is time for Wollensak owners to set the record straight (if we have 
any)...

Thank you.
