NOTES:
  "... The Akeley camera, designed in 1918, also had its film chamber
  carried inside the camera, which had a very distinctive drum shaped
  body. It was designed by Carl Louis Gregory Akeley, explorer,
  sculptor, taxidermist, and curator of the American Museum of Natural
  History. The film was carried in a single combined magazine; a
  cylindrical shutter ran around the inside of the cylindrical body. The
  telescopic finder had a most ingenious optical system which kept its
  eyepiece in the usual level position regardless of the tilt of the
  camera." (Coe, 1981).
