I am trying to understand how the stacked knobs on the Chamonix Alpine camera work. They are a cupped knob that is stacked one inside the other and they operate the rise and fall and front tilt and back tilt of the lens. The outer lets the lens rise and fall and the inner cupped knob operates the on axis front tilt and back tilt. A similar set up is used on the Ebony cameras. I assume there are some sort of bushings. How they work together is the mystery. Drawings diagrams pics would all go along way toward explaining. Thank you for any light you can bring to this matter.
