I think Mr Petronio has asked before about Graflex Super cameras with increased movements.
I've seen variations on this theme before. On eBay right now is a Graflex Super with back tilt modification. Actually looks like a decent working mod.

I've seen a similar working modification on a crown. Since the bellows hooks in directly to the back frame, the bellows follows the tilt back when the back is hinged at either the top or the bottom. An interesting variation on this would be adjustment sliders at both the top and bottom to all either back or forward tilt.
When I get my Super back from Fred Lustig, I may explore this, in addition to some enhancements on the front standard.
