I am looking for some photos of the inside of the film door for the Daylight Kodak. I am also curious if anyone has any photos of what the original cardboard cartridges looked like on both ends that fit this camera. The only picture I’ve seen of the cartridge is in George Gilbert’s 1976 book, Collecting Photographica. The illustration in the 1892 Kodak catalog looks quite different than the actual photograph in Gilbert’s book.
I recently bought a B Daylight Kodak. It is missing the film door on the bottom. I should be able to fabricate the wooden door as well as the brass escutcheon for the thumbscrew. I also would like to fabricate the wooden film reels with their lightproof cardboard cartridges--or at least a reasonable representation to show friends.
There are plenty of pictures on the Internet of the inside of the film door for the Kodak Ordinary cameras. I see that those cameras also came with a second inner door with holes that centered the film spools. I am assuming the extra piece of wood is not necessary with the Daylight since the thick cardboard ends up the cartridge hold and center the spools??? Is this correct?
One or two small pictures I’ve seen of the inside of the Daylight door look like it may be covered in felt. Does anyone know if that’s correct?
If anyone could share your wisdom and post any pictures you have, I would really appreciate it!
