Bridge Plate BP-7 with
15 mm Support Rods
The bridge plate BP-7 with 15mm support rods can be
transferred from Normal 16 to Super 16 optical positions.
Old bridge plates with 15mm support rods for the 16
SR can subsequently be retrofitted with the new upper
sliding plate. A conversion kit with instructions is avail-
able.
For mounting and operation see bridge plate BP-6.
For changing the upper sliding plate from Normal 16 to
Super 16 optical center positons, the reversible center
plate on the upper sliding plate must be reversed to the
appropriate position. See chapter 8.
