Hi Jim,
I'm attaching a picture of a folded C-1; it might help. If you want a larger version of this image, send me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you. I'm at
jda8x10@verizon.net.
When folded, the prongs on the rear standard fit into holes on the front standard, and there are thumbscrews that you lock to hold the prongs in place.
The tripod block is all the way forward.
The rear section of the rail folds up toward the ground glass, and clips fit over the screwheads to form a right-angle and hold the rear rail in place.
I just sold my C-1 and sent the instructions with it; sorry I don't have a copy to send you. But I got the instructions from contacting Calumet -- you might try them to see if they still have a set they can fax you. That's how they sent mine.
Hope this helps.
--John
