     Ever-Reody cose
         It is convenient to corry the Besso in the Voigilonder
      Ever-Reody cose, which not only protects  it from roin
    ond dust, but olso increoses its reodiness for use,
      since the comero need not be ioken out when it is
      to be used.
   A screw prevents the Besso from folling out.
