Jenkins; telebinocular

There are indeed many more books on stereoscopy to be found in the
libraries than are in private collections or bookstores.  

>>Two Points of View: The history of the Parlor Stereoscope by Harold Jenkins.

I haven't seen Jenkins' book but in his too-brief bibliography, Wing calls
it "A study in misinformation".

And about the telebinocular in McKay, _Three Dimensional Photography_,
1953: on p33, he shows a telebinocular, similar to the V7S on p161 of Wing,
but with elaborate scales around the oculars.   McKay describes it as one
of the best, used in the labs of the Stereo Guild, for non-standard sized
views.
--? does anyone know this viewer, and what are the scales around the oculars?
--? What were the labs of the Stereo Guild?
