1912 Reference. The Flexo-Front got its name from the sliding
wooden tambour panel that could shift the lens/shutter in four
different positions. Gennert referred to the feature as a flexible
traveling front.
The camera shown in the reference illustrates the standard portrait lens mounted in a Winner shutter.
However, the Flexo-Front presented on this website has what looks like a landscape lens with a front mounted Wollensak Skyshade shutter.
