Anyone Ever See A Lens Like This?

This is a first for me. I suspect this is not a zoom lens, but a telephoto lens with magnifying mirrors inside set up in a periscope type arrangement. Thanks to Jim Weinberg for the photo.

    I don’t know about the lens, but it appears to be a DuMont camera. Oddly the connector is not the usual DuMont rectangular affair.

    I’ve seen some like it used on space shot coverage.
