Function: Mounting plate on which multiple lenses may be mounted.
Technical: The Bill Mason collection consists of typical cameras and other equipment in the 16 mm format widely used by documentary film makers in Canada in this period. This heavier turret was used with larger, heavier lenses to prevent warping and possibility of light leaks due to gaps in seal between camera & turret and/or turret and lens. [Ref. 3, p.19]
