In 1995, I realized that I did not have a 
comprehensive list of Visoflex models and 
adapters  and began to develop one.  I have been 
slogging away on this for 12 years and haven't 
really begun to work through the scientific 
catalogues where more than half of the adapters 
appear.  I would posit a rough guess that the 
final list will be in excess of a thousand items, 
if it ever can be completed at all.  And to 
complicate the matter, the Prewar gear has to be 
listed by the codeword, the Prewar catalogue 
number from the abortive system introduced in 
1936, and the Postwar catalogue number introduced 
in 1958, while many of the Postwar adapters have 
to be listed both by the codeword and teh Postwar catalogue number.

Oy, Vey!
