Film Ident Unit

[P3D Paul S. Boyer <boyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

tom dory wants to know whjat the "Film Identification Unit
for Realist Camera Model ST 523" does<snip>

This unit is a little device which fits in front of one of the lenses
of the Realist.  The unit contains a close-up lens and a little stand
in which you pplace your notes on the roll you are about to shoot.
The idea is that one single-frame shot is wasted anyway as you
advance the film at the beginning of the roll, so might as well use
it for recording data.  I have seen it, I have it, I never use it,
but I appreciate it as a clever idea.
