My Beseler 45 MX II does not have these holes, but perhaps other Beseler enlargers do. These holes are undoubtedly where the #8247 is attached. Beseler states it has a front surface mirror, just like the Spiratone Circo-Mirrotach, but I can't find a picture of one. Beseler also made a long focusing cable so that you can focus the enlarger while being close to the mural. Most CB7 enlargers, unlike mine, have auto-focus. So if you want to make LARGE prints, there are at least two devices that can help. The Spiratone Circo-Mirrotach is inexpensive, easy to find, and adapt. The #8247? Not so much.
