Zeiss Turita 8X24 Owned by Ernest Hemingway (View 9)
Note how the prism cluster fits in the body: the larger prism is well-secured against the bottom by the retaining plate while the smaller prism "floats" and has no support other than the cement bonding it to the larger one.
The Turita's prism is similar to a Möller prism (See: www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/5207101527/in/set-72157623... and www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/5207694610/in/set-72157623...), but one big difference is that the roof sections of the large prisms are on opposite sides.
