Hi Everyone
Looking for some background on a R.B. Cycle Graphic flatbed camera I just picked up. From what I've found it's a 6.5" x 8.5" and I believe it dates to between 1923-1927 based on wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graflex) and the name plate but the shutter and lens seems older between 1915 to 1920 by way of thread: https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?57215-The-Lowly-Versar

The lens and shutter are: Wollensak Regno pat. Feb 6 1900 with a Wollensak "Versar Portrait & View" F-6 lens attached

One point I'm really interested in, is the embossed stamp on both sides:
Signal
Corps
U.S. Army
C.G.-6 No.32

Past that I'm at a bit of a loss as to finding film holders and film for it. I'd hazard a guess that if there are holders available then 8x10 sheets could be cut to size.
Thanks
