Help identifying an old, large-format film camera

[jr_norton82]

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help me identify an old large-format film camera I saw for sale at an antique shop recently. I was quite taken with how nice it looked, and I snapped one photo of it (I should have taken more), and now I'm curious what kind of camera it was. The antique shop isn't close enough to warrant a trip back just to see what kind of camera it was (unless I'm absolutely unable to find anyone who can help me identify it), so I was hoping someone with a lot of knowledge of large-format cameras might be able to help! Anyway, here is the photo I took:

The lens is made by Wollensak in Rochester, NY, but I'm sure there are lots of different large format cameras with Wollensak lenses on them. It looked to me to be an 8x10 large format camera. Thanks in advance for any help anyone is able to give me!

Some of the details look like Rochester Optical, the lens board latches in particular, a view of the back would help. The Rochester cameras used a proprietary film holder so the back dimensions around the ground glass are different. If you can zoom in on the top of the lens, the speed dial may be marked ROC.

If you're thinking of getting and using it, it should have about 36" of bed with it.
Some beds can be hard to come by.
