Thanks, Philippe.? As I just responded to Lluis, this was probably an 
"entry level" lens for Ross, with focal length of 8-in and a maximum 
entry pupil of 1/2-inch, hence an f/16 lens wide open, with four smaller 
Waterhouse stops.? The fact that? it will probably cover 5x7 or 8x10 
doesn't help me much.? It would have been right at home with a pneumatic 
Packard shutter and squeeze bulb.
