If you haven't already done so, you might start with the very useful discussion of making "Pacemaker" rangefinder cams that's available on this site.

I don't think a scan or other image of a cam would help much in fabricating one. The bearing surface is very slightly concave, and I don't think the figure would reproduce with sufficient precision.

The only outfit I ever found that offered these cams ******* with any regularity charged more than I thought the things are worth, and moreover has vanished from the Internet.

I was wondering how he figured out the complex mechanics of using a top rangefinder on a Graphic View? :wink:
