Well, the Anastigmat was a separate line of lenses - essentially Tessars
with the exception of the 6.3/105, 6.3/130 and 7.7/8in.
Some notable Anastigmats were:
7.7/8in
Covers 5x7 "process" lens, well-corrected for close-up work. Quite nice
5 1/2in, 6 3/8in, 7 1/2in, 8 1/2in, 10in and 12in - all f/4.5
Cover from 3 1/4 x 4 /1/4 to 8x10 (with movements) depending on the focal
length. Fine lenses (great for architecture, as they don't display much
linear distortions of any kind.)
There were also Anastigmats for small format cameras (35mm, Bantams and
Vigilants)
Well after WWII, Kodak started tinkering with their lenses a lot, and the
distinctions between many lens lines blur in the 50s. (The summary above
describes the mid-to-late 40s status quo.)
An additional note. Many prewar Kodak lenses were sold as Kodak
Anastigmat followed by a number. It would seem from catalogue data
that numbers in the "thirty" series, like K.A. No.33 are Tessars,
those begining with 70 seem to be dialytes (four element air spaced
type).
Here are the numbers (actually in the Kodak catalogue, the numbers
precede the lens name
All data come from Kodak Reference Handbook, 1946
(practically unchaged from 1940-1946.)
No. 31 Kodak Anastigmat f/4.5 5 1/2in (140mm)
No. 32 Kodak Anastigmat f/4.5 6 3/8in (161mm)
No. 33 Kodak Anastigmat f/4.5 7 1/2in (190mm)
No. 34 Kodak Anastigmat f/4.5 8 1/2in (216mm)
No. 35 Kodak Anastigmat f/4.5 10in (254mm)
No. 36 Kodak Anastigmat f/4.5 12in (304mm)
All appear to be Tessars (4 elements in 3 groups, 4 internal air surfaces)
No. 70 Kodak Anastigmat f/7.7 8in (203mm)
(Symmetrical, air-spaced, 4 elements in 4 groups, 6 internal air surfaces.)
BTW, that's the one I like on a 4x5 VC the best (it will cover 5x7, but with
4x5 you'll sooner run out of swings and titlts, than go beyond its circle of
coverage.)
