That might have been a US/British only definition, the Unified thread series was still quite new at that time. I can't locate the German/DIN tripod screw standard of the period, which could then still have been Whitworth (or the DIN metric definition thereof), as it was some thirty years earlier. In more recent years, the above (or something very similar) evidently has been the ISO definition, but that may have been a consequence of harmonization efforts (and UNC being a ISO adopted standard, while Whitworth is not).
$5 later, I have found a Whitword 3/8 bolt that fits the base plate, man they are expensive!
I think I have made a work around to attach the camera to a modern tripod
Watch this space! and thanks for replies
If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
Another former hollow state-technician with practice in correcting the mistakes of electrical and mechanical engineers, and 60+ years of wasting hours improvising something that would cost a dollar. Leigh, I respect most engineers, but when they do screw up, WOW!
Hi Jim,
An engineering education concentrates on learning the proper way to screw up.
No amateur methodologies here.
