Yes, there were a few 70 mm backs made.  Somewhere in the depths
of my garage is a better one!  I am looking at the brochure for it as
I type this.  It was made in Hollywood by Cine Mechanics Company
and is more elegant than the one shown on eBay.  It is not for sale,
as it is promised to Todd Belcher.

I believe that the one shown on eBay was French designed and made,
as hinted by the curvy body.  (But I may be wrong, he lied)

The Cine Mech device required a dual cable release, or manual
actuation of the film stop if I used the body release.

I mounted it on my Rollei 3.5E, but never used it 'cause I had no
way to process the film.

As I recall, I bought it new in the early '60,s
