I recently acquired a box of old Crown Graphic parts, some I think are cams for the rangefinder. Is there any place I can view examples of cams for both side and top RFs to see if these are in fact cams? Thanks!!

Side RF's do not use cams, Pacemakers and Supers do.

Super Speed Cams are much larger and have two holes in them.

Thanks guys, I think I know what at least one of these are now. The cam I think I've identified is about 1-3/8" x 11/16" across the center, has two 1/4" holes in it and a "dimple" filled with green paint. The numbers on it are 36005-P156 which I think makes it a Super Graphic cam for the 380mm tele lens. Now if I could just figure out what the one with the hook on it is.......
