				| 
 |  
				| My first speed graphic did not have the little clips on the focusing hood to hold the darkslide. I got a graflok back from an old oscilloscope and it had the darkslide clips, which I now find absolutely indispensable. Why did they make any focusing hoods without them? Has anyone had luck retrofiting some kind of similar clips to hoods that don't have them? |  |

				| The clips, if they are still there, were on the back of the flip up door in the Graflok back.

 Because they had to invent the clips someday !

 The focusing hoods did not need them.
