Correct! Here is the full photo.

I don't know much about the camera. My dad purchased a bunch of camera stuff at a yard sale years ago and this was one of the camera's. Also had a Yashica Mat 120 camera and a bunch of metal film cans, some nikon lenses and a few old photos from a motocross race, looks like early 70's.

All I can say is the camera looks well made and primitive at the same time, with the gearing looking like it took a bit of machining and a hinge that looks like it came off of a screen door

. Oh, and the viewfinder doesn't have much going for it. Were these things popular?

I used to see these "bricks" all the time. Also, that Kodak timer used to be THE timer not only for darkroom work but probably hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of high school sporting events - basketball, football, soccer - that ran on time periods. I still have mine, and if the switch is thrown, it's still ticking.
