Heavy-duty supporting clamps for attaching
to camera, eliminate sliding, twisting or turning.
Just snap on for a vise-like grip, press one con-
venient button to remove from camera. These
supporting clamps (standard equipment) are
movable, allowing the battery case to be placed
on the right side or attached to handle lugs on
the left side-with switch either at front or back!
You'll be pleased at the ease with which the
reflectors will center themselves accurately and
surely as they are slipped into place. And you
can quickly replace one with the other while
leaving the battery case on the camera. The
push button lamp ejector of both 5-inch and

The combined power of the twin battery cases
shown at the right may be used to provide the
increased power so necessary to fire dependably
the extra flash lamps required for synchronized
color photography. Whether you use one case
or two at once, you have the choice of the con-
ventional solenoid type of synchronization; syn-
chronization with built-in shutter contacts; or
solenoid release of a shutter whose synchroniza-
tion is obtained with built-in contacts. This last
combination allows releasing the shutter elec-
trically just by pushing the switch on the battery
case, at the same time firing the flash lamp
through the shutter's built-in synchronization
mechanism.

In addition, you're able to use any reasonable
number of batteries in a Graflite case through
the use of one-cell extension tubes. You get more
power than ever, to use more Graflex side light-

Designed for use on many makes of cameras
Almost any camera can now be fitted with
Graflite Flash, through the development of spe-
cial Graflex Brackets and connecting cords tai-
lored to all the various types of shutters with
built-in synchronization.
These new brackets are made to fit reflex,
"press", folding or "candid" type cameras, and
are nominally priced. They permit the rapid in-
terchange of the Graflite unit from one camera
to another without tools, thus doing away with
the need for different flash equipment for each
camera you own.

is the lens which makes the picture, it entirely
eliminates any problem of parallax.
