It is nowhere near totally comprehensive, but it is still very useful - not least through the good images.
A french lister has a simple Darlot sleeve with the screw-in locking device found on the Universal Darlot and a few others in the 1860's.
Like everyone does, I checked what else was on offer from the same seller - you never know! There was a lens barrel with a Waterhouse stop, with no focussing track. The WHS had the central indentation for a small tab system on the stops.
Page 142 in Corrado's showed the right lens. The brass lens hood will have to be made-up, but I am guessing from given dimensions that I have the flange already.
I certainly wouldn't have taken the chance without the book!
