Put the 2 together and you get "butt ugly".

LOL Frank! I think that piece of comedy genius has gone unnoticed. I am still laughing.

Interesting. Looks slightly like an Argus A. Anyone know if there was any relationship?

(I wonder if dinosaur photographers would ever have invented the extinction meter?)

You may be right:

Was the Speed Candid Film Transport Based on an Argus Design?
The camera interior reveals a wind mechanism remarkably similar to that of the Argus model A and C cameras. The Argus A, introduced in 1936, and the Argus C, introduced in 1938, were manufactured by International Research Corp., later known as Argus, Inc. of Ann Arbor, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois.

Hell, if it worked, I'd be bidding on it!
