P3D Re: PHOTO-3D digest 2671 "rewind crank"

[Esner/Newman <esnew@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Realist Rewind Crank, which I find very useful was not made by David
White Co. but was manufactured during the late 50's or 60's. It fits over
the rewind knob and meshes with the grooves in the knob via splines on the
inside of the crank. It makes it very easy to rewind a roll of film. The
only drawback I find is that you cannot leave it on the camera at all
times. It will not allow the camera case to be closed and it is  not a
permenent fitting. You must keep it in the camera bag or your pocket. I
have lost one so far as a result. They are available from Photo Emporium in
Chicago for about $15 plus s&h. The phone number is 773-777-3915. They must
also have a web site.								>
