Cooke triplets
The Cooke triplet is a lens design patented in 1893 by H. Dennis Taylor, an optical manager of T. Cooke & Sons of York, and comprised of three air-spaced singlets: two biconvex (positive) elements surrounding a biconcave (negative) element in the middle. The aperture stop is just behind the central negative element. This is the simplest design that is capable of correcting all of the seven Seidel aberrations over a wide field of view. It is one of the most important lens designs in the history of photography.
