John Lind recalled,"The "big boys" for camera
mounted flash were the Press 25 and 25B bulbs in polished bowls"
Right on - but the real big boys were the Press 40's,
(& 22's?)size of a 100 watt light bulb, with a screw base to match. Used in the
side mount Heiland and Graflex guns that adorned many Rolleis as well as
Graflexes in the late 40's and early 50's. Great for open flash on major news
items... train wrecks, etc. (Shades of Weegee, eh?)
