Focus Mechanism

Internal focus: the negative singlet IIa and the cemented pair IIb (with the stop) both move toward the image, IIb slightly farther, while the front and rear groups stay fixed. The patent prints the gaps at infinity and at object points 3056 and 1031 (patent units, about 5.5 m and 1.86 m from the front vertex at 180 mm). Intermediate states follow a quadratic IIa/IIb travel law through those rows; the 1.6 m minimum focus distance extrapolates past the last printed state.
