Big Bertha vs Exakta
From what I understand "Big Bertha" was the name given to a number of Graflex 4x5 or 5x7 cameras that had a telephoto lens added by another company. This combination weighed in at 50 pounds or more. They once were a common sight at sporting events. The lever on the lens is used for focusing. This photo is from a 1950's ad for Exakta SLR's hoping to persuade the reader that the Exakta offers a more manageable size and comparable quality.

The Master Reflex is the name that the Meister Korelle was given for distribution in that US by Ercona Camera Corp. The Master Reflex is a 6X6 cm SLR for 120 film. It is the last in a line of cameras that started with the Reflex Korelle. The ad is from 1951. The Master Reflex was out of production by 1952.
