Don't have the data, but it is a fast triplet that usually don't have huge coverage.

The, perhaps, equivalent Meyer Trioplan 8 1/4" F3.2 is for 6x4.25" plates. 7x5" is first achieved with the 10" size.

Stellor is a trade name, not a design type. In the early 1920s, when the lens figured was made, the f/3.5 Serie Ia Stellor's layout was: front () )( | )) )) rear. | stands for the diaphragm. Four single elements, nothing cemented. Claimed coverage is 45 degrees.

A side view shows it couldn't be a triplet!
