That helps me out alot. I just bought a case of different
Graflex items at a estate sale here in NJ. I figured out what
most of the rest but I wasn't quite sure about this piece.
: What you have here, Bob, is the central unit of
: the later model of Graflex's Extension Flash, or
: what they sometimes called the "Side lighting
: unit" - Cat. 2778. It was normally supplied with
: a 15' extension cord and a clamp which screwed
: into that hole in the bottom. Either a 5" or a 7"
: reflector was mounted on the top [using an
: identical black L shaped piece as that found on
: the top of the normal flash unit].
: The earlier model of this unit was made to use with only
battery circuits and had 2 outlets.
: This later model had four outlets, 2 for battery
: circuits and 2 for B-C [battery - capacitor]
: circuits. The latter were connected in series
: and, since they had their own power, could use
: many more extensions than the earlier model.
