Focus Mechanism

Unit focus: the whole lens moves forward and only the back focus changes, by 39.99 mm at the 5 m minimum focus. The patent prints no focus travel; the motion is inferred from its Fig. 5 curves at 1/10× magnification, which extending Example 1 as a unit reproduces. At the 400 mm scale that magnification falls at 5.0 m object to image, the catalogue minimum focus. The same catalogue lists a straight helicoid for focusing, which fits unit movement without proving it. The infinity back focus is the computed paraxial value; the patent prints none.
