Focus Mechanism

Published rear-focus anchors: corrected infinity to β = -0.0333 at 4.0967736 m object-to-image-plane. GR moves 6.8090 mm objectward while G1 and G2 remain fixed. The production 1.1 m minimum-focus endpoint is not reconstructed. DC motion changes D3 and compensates with GR motion while the inferred stop station remains fixed; the three close DC positions are patent-published.
