Wisner 7x17 Technical Field Camera

Cameras of the 7X17" and 12x20" formats are traditionally called Banquet Cameras. 
The main 19th century NY manufacturers were Folmer & Schwing Company and Korona, Gundlach-Manhattan Optical Company.

Because their cameras were designed to served mostly indoors they were built with a lightweight frame.
The designs are too fragile for rugged use.
