On the long and short lens focal length  front, the best you can do is to 
put them opposite each other on the turret.  Some Pye cameras had a splayed 
out turret to ease this problem.

Thanks  Brian!
Ok to steady  the  long lenses I can almost envision a  rig of cables and  
turnbuckles...
 
In my catalogs here aside  from the heavy  zoomars  there are lot of really 
long fixed length lenses  that  did not  come with  turret hole plugs that 
had  hook   eyes on them like the zoomar kit offered. 
 
It makes sense  to anchor to SOMEWHERE   on the turret instead of the  
camera in case you ever wanted to rotate  the turret while it was rigged.
 
Pondering this... One thing to consider though in  even using the other 
turret positions while a really long lens is on one  hole you would have a 
problem of the shorter wider field  lenses  SEEING  the  long lens in the 
picture... In Fact it  would  seem that the  35 50 90 and 135 Eastman Kodak Ektar 
lenses in  a normal turret would have to be positioned correctly also  to 
prevent  LENS IMAGE INTRUSION in  the  fame...

. Hi Ed

 
Re the "hangers" if this was a BBC  camera I would say that they were for 
attaching safety bonds to hold the  lens if they were to fall.
 
Sorry for late rely, in box overload.

the 4th turret type  sockets and  eye hanger things///  hanger  for??? 
lens??   I have  a few turrets that  are set up this way.   so I suppose these 
anchors  could  be  to stabilize a long lens???
