warner_lord Posted November 19, 1998 Share Posted November 19, 1998 I have a No. 2 Cartridge Hawk-Eye ( pat. 1914) with both mirrors missing. I'd like to use the camera. Anyone have any ideas on getting or making new mirrors. <p> Why is called a "Cartridge"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck1 Posted November 24, 1998 Share Posted November 24, 1998 Hi Warner, <p> Are you talking about the mirrors for the finder? <p> "Cartridge" is an early name for paper-backed rollfilms because they look similar to a shot-gun cartridge and they are easy to "load". This is the explanation from Brian Coe's book. <p> -Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamar_larsen Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Warner Lord I was reading through the postings on this site and came across yours. I don't know if you fixed this camera or if you have it still. I have a hawk-eye No 2 B that I got from Ebay, it needed the mirrors replaced. I took the mirrors from one of my wife's old compacts and glued them in with white glue. They are still holding. LaMar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
