HARRODS’ “GOERZ” CAMERAS.
GOERZ VEST-POCKET TENAX.
GOERZ VEST POCKET TENAX G.P..GOREZ Opt. Wks. Ltd LONDON
Taking plates or films 4½ × 6 cm. (1¾ × 25/16), the Vest-Pocket Tenax is a thoroughly practical little instrument. It is fitted with a shutter, giving speeds from 1 to 1/250th sec. and the Goerz Lens and focussing adjustment. Owing to its size and construction the beginner in photography is able to obtain excellent results right away. The results are of surprising sharpness, and although contact prints can of course be made, most of the users of the camera will adopt the Vest-Pocket Tenax enlarger, by which prints up to 7 × 5 can be produced with the same ease and facility as direct prints, and with practically equal sharpness.
The Goerz Vest-Pocket Tenax can also be used either as a focussing or as a fixed focus camera.
The C.D.V. Tenax Camera is exactly similar, but takes plates or films 3½ × 2½ ins.

GOERZ TENAX CAMERAS.
“Manufoc.”“Autofoc.”
The Small, Practical Camera. No Larger than the Hand.
These are folding hand cameras built to the irreducible minimum of size. Elegant in appearance and beautifully made, portability has been obtained without a sacrifice of efficiency. The Cameras are fitted with a Goerz Lens, and a special compound shutter giving exposures from 1 second to 1/250th of a second, as well as time and bulb exposures. The double extension is sufficient to enable objects within a few feet of the camera to be focussed. A diagonal rack and pinion is provided for focussing, and the finder closes up in the camera. Fitting for tripod both ways. The “Pocket Tenax,” although so small and simple in use, is as complete as a stand camera, and capable of overcoming every photographic problem.
“Autofoc” Model is Automatically Focussed for Infinity.
One Press of a Push Button and the “Autofoc” is Ready for Use.
“Manufoc” focusses in the ordinary way.

GOERZ FOLDING REFLEX.
A new type of instrument embodying the advantages of the reflex with the portability of the folding camera.
The Goerz Folding Reflex is made for one size of plate only—the popular 5 × 4. When folded the depth from back to front is 3⅜ ins. only. Simply lifting up the lens panel opens and extends the camera with the lens focussed and the mirror and hood in position, ready for use. One movement only is required. Closing the camera is effected with similar facility.
The camera is not fragile, but when set up is as rigid as the box-pattern Reflex. It has all the advantages of the latter and differs from it only in being compact and light enough to carry without inconvenience.
A Focal Plane Shutter—the latest self-capping Goerz-Anschutz pattern, giving time and bulb exposures, as well as automatic and instantaneous exposures, from 5 seconds to 1/1200th second—is fitted.
The picture can be seen right up to the moment of exposing.

The “F. Murray” Irons. Shortly described, the heads are forged in the ordinary manner, but with perfect blades, part of the socket is then ground away to permit of an insertion of a piece of wood—which when rendered flush enables the shaft to be added by splicing—as will at once be seen—a unique and ingenious method of uniting an iron head to shaft; finally (after gluing), firmly bound with whipping—result, the perfect combination, partaking as it does of both iron and wooden club. The feel of the club is what all golfers have been looking for. Made in Cleeks, Irons, Mashies, and Putters. 6/6.

N.B.—Owing to the frequent introduction of New Golf Balls it is impossible to keep our Catalogue up to date, but every new Ball of merit is stocked immediately on introduction, and our customers can always rely on us for their supply. Those quoted below are the most popular Balls at the time of printing this List.

HARRODS’ SPECIALITIES.
We wish to draw the attention of our customers to the “RANELAGH” GOLF BALL. MR. HORACE HUTCHINSON, who has tested the ball, writes as follows:— “Most golfers will agree on two cardinal virtues which a ball must possess to be first-class—it must fly well and retain its shape. In the ‘RANELAGH’ these qualities are very pronounced.”

GOLF NET WITH SIDE WINGS W E & S B.
The very best cord and workmanship are used in our hemp nets, which are made in a special manner so that when the ball strikes the net it easily recedes, lessening the force of the impact and thereby relatively increasing the strength and durability of the net.
These nets are now made in ¾-inch mesh instead of 1 inch, and are guaranteed to stand fair wear and hard driving.

THE RACKET WHICH CANNOT BREAK. An entirely new invention.
THE “TUNMER” RACKET (Patent 12146). Price 33/6
Absolutely guaranteed.
The only racket produced with a four-ply continuous frame.
Official trials show that whilst an ordinary first-class racket breaks under a strain of approximately 170 lbs., the “Tunmer” satisfactorily withstood a strain of 450 lbs. before the effect was noticeable.
TENNIS POLES.
Warping impossible, can be perpetually re-strung. Frame consists of one continuous ring of Ash.
Made of the very best selected materials, of perfect appearance, finish and design, and constructed under the new patent process, which entirely obviates the necessity for a press.
THE QUEEN’S POSTS.
These Posts, which are of stout solid Ash or Birch polished, and have nickel-plated fittings, are firmly fixed to the ground by a spiral pin, giving a greater degree of rigidity, and more tautness is consequently communicated to the net. They are not destructive to the grass. For loose, sandy soil a long screw is requisite; if the poles are required for hard soil, we recommend the T-shape pins. Each set is furnished with a patent Steam-tarred Waterproof Net, Iron Screws, Spanner, Clutches, or T-shape pins and mallet, and Centre Guide complete, 70/0, Price, Poles only, 50/0
THE HURLINGHAM POSTS.

THESE POSTS ARE FITTED WITH THE NEW PATENT “LADYE” WINDER.
The most perfect and powerful Winder for winding nets of tennis posts ever made.
Very little effort is required with this winder to wind a net to its proper height.
A girl 10 years of age can wind with ease, after a man has put all his strength into winding with the old style of winder.
No slipping back of Winder, this ensures that the net can be fixed at the exact height required.
No catch to trap or take off finger ends. No catch to release to slacken net; simply turn back. It is quite as easy to wind net as to release. It is quite as easy to release net as to wind. Impervious to weather as all working parts are covered.
Has a solid Drum to take Net Cord, enabling the hole in shaft of drum to be always opposite to hole in drum, thus enabling cord to be withdrawn without cutting. Price, Poles only, 49/0 Complete with Best Steam Tarred Net and Adjuster, 68/0

SLAZENGER’S STADIUM (COLONIAL) POSTS.
SLAZENGER MAKER.
As used at the All-England Championship Meeting, Wimbledon, and at the Queen’s Club and leading Tournaments.
The system of winding is such that the minimum amount of power is required, a gradual strain upon the net being easily obtained, while the jerky action, which has been found so often to break the net-cords, is entirely obviated (see illustration). The Base is constructed in two parts, allowing the Pole to be easily detached, and rendering the same most convenient for packing or removing at nightfall, while the feet are enamelled so as to better withstand bad weather and rough usage. Price, poles only, 62/6
