I had a couple of Yashicas that burned in the Paradise Campfire.. As I recall you could adjust the camera by tweaking something to accept either 120 or 620 film. I made up an aluminum bar to mount them on and added a couple mini electric solenoids so I could trigger them together for taking stereo photos of moving or still objects.

Interesting! We had several in my H.S.Yearbook days and I grew quite fond of the TLR. Of course, the Yashicas were the only ones I could afford. As I said earlier, they were quite robust and possibly because of the larger 6x6 cm negatives over the 35mm size negs, they made great pics. Shooting Tri-X in both. I always wanted a Rollei, but when I finally could afford one, I had discovered the joys of the Mamiya 645 SLR.
Your rig sounds like it would be a bitch to get the proper distance apart for the two cameras and then comes the question what did you view your medium format stereo shots through.
The later YashicaMats were able to use either 120 or 220 film by removing the pressure plate and rotating it 90 degrees to accommodate the thinner 220 film. Can't remember how you changed the counter from 12 to 24 exposures.

So----just how much radiation did they spew? We all were subject to them, but I have not heard of any suits against whomever did make them? Even in our litigious society with a "trip and stumble" ambulance chaser on every corner?----------------

Wiki says an American machine gave off an average of 13r and possible damage to a child occurs at over 300r. But it could be cumulative and the most damage might occur from machine leakage to shoe salesmen. Sometimes the shielding was removed from machines by the ill informed. So---compared to the flagrant medical imaging, shoe fitting was not a big problem except through improper use.-----------

I remember the fluroscopes. A really bad idea.
I also remember the days of roll filmm. 620 and 120 films were almost identical. The only difference is the size of the hole in the spool. 620 was a Kodak product. Kodak cameras used 620. Most orher cameras used the more universal 120 format. A few cameras could use either format.

I was just reminded of my long gone doctor who was so proud to show off his body fluoroscope. Every time I had to visit him, he wanted to have me "looked at". My parents were very leery of equipment that buzzed. I am glad that they protected me in my early days. I have started reading all sorts of things and "discovered" that radiation is cumulative in its effect on soft tissue. For a while I carried around a box with a piece of film that I developed periodically to see the degree of exposure.
They even had GIs sitting on hillsides to view the explosions from the A-bombs that was being tested!
