Ernemann Ermanox Reflex camera with Ernostar lens

I have an Ernemann Ermanox Reflex camera with Ernostar lens, much like this one Ernostar - Camera-wiki.org - The free camera encyclopedia. The Ermanox Reflex was the final model of Ermanox and was discontinued in 1929. What I like to ask the camera/photography community is, "Does the camera support glass plate photography or, more specifically, can the Ermanox's film plate adapters accept dry glass slides in place of the "normal" single cut sheet film?" Any worthwhile, considered responses specific to the question - please no off-beat responses - would be warmly received. Frank

Thank you for your reply. I have four old Ernemann cartridge holders, three without the glass plate and one with the glass plate, and they slipped on quite comfortably along the rear viewer railing where they are supposedly inserted. I've never tried this out before and am only doing so because somebody was asking about this. Please find attached relevant pictures. Frank

Ernemann Ermanox Reflex camera with Ernostar lens

I've noticed that the shutter appears to be sluggish at the slower shutter speeds on my Ernemann Ermanox reflex and Ernox cameras. Is this attributable to the shutters themselves (they look pretty clean to me)? or could it be because the cameras haven't been used for a very long time? Frank
