  My 1927 Zeiss catalogue lists the following sets:
Set	Plate 	Components (cm)  Doublets(cm)
Bo	4x5"  	29  22  18		14.5  13  11.5

C	5x7"		35  29  22		18.5  15.5  14.5

D	9x7		48  41  25  29    26  23.5  22  20  18.5

 None listed has a WA Protar included. Such sets may be in other catalogues. 
  Bausch & Lomb offered sets with three or four cells, a large shutter, a
barrel, and a WA Protar(f/18) in either a Volute shutter or with an adaptor
disc to mount in the large shutter flange. 
  What else do you need to know, I have prices, lens numbers and codes,
speeds of combinations, etc.
