The Van Hasbroeck reference is quite interesting, though, just between us
chickens, I am always VERY wary of relying on him as a source.  It would be
nice if he gave us some measured dimensions instead of his off-hand remarks
about these cameras being 'akin' to the M5.  Without some details --
dimensions, dates, &c, the Van Hasbroeck reference doesn't stand for much.

These prototype M4's, in any event, more likely date from '66 or so, four
years after the Viso III was designed.
