You'll find two very helpful pages on this site. One lists the Graflex part numbers for the cams it made for top-rangefinder "Pacemaker" cameras (the cam for a 100mm. lens is #29). See

Unfortunately, these things are very hard to find. The few people who (1) have them and (2) know what they are tend to charge amazing amounts of money for one. Your idea of making one yourself therefore seems like a good one. You'll find instructions at

I've never seen this information anywhere else, and I have been looking for a long time.

Good luck!
