What is the actual type of 3-pin connector on the side of this

I've found information on the Paragon Anastigmat 6+" lens, but nothing on

Phillips cameras (especially the 11x14) handle vertical shots...
Is it a pain? Are the cameras solid enough to maintain focus?
Comments welcome!

I have a set of Gitzo Pro Studex legs which currently has  a video fluid
head. The fluid head is unsuitable for 4x5. So I am looking for a new
head. I see lots of Ball heads available. I have never used one of

I am considering purchasing a 240 mm lens for my 8x10 Zone Vi camera.

Thanks for any advice/experience.

I read that 4x5 lenses longer than 210mm require the Copal #3
shutter and that this hole, required for Copal #3, is too
large for the standard lens Boards on my Crown Graphic ?

element to create the change in size - does it yield a good
performance in both sizes?
