P3D Verascope format

[Ralph Johnston <copley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I took off the magazine and measured the openings on the camera half.  From
the left side of the left image to the right side of the right image is
109.7mm.   I finally got the magazine open and found glass slides in brass
holders.  They measure 105.5mm long.  I was thrown off by the openings
being larger than the plate.  It looks like the images go right to the
edges of the plate.

Now I have a plate and two empty holders removed from the magazine and
can't get them back in.

Later- I did it -you pull out the changer, reach in and slide the plate
into the changer, drop in another, and repeat.

I stand corrected.  45x107 is still the correct size.  Thanks for measuring.
