Very popular high quality shutter. It was superceded in the smaller sizes by the Compur. The 1904 model was not sold in Britain to much extent. The shutter has a finger release and either a cable release socket or pneumatic release connection. A setting lever is on the right of the shutter. Below the lens is a setting for I, B, T. On aluminium models the I B T position varies. Later it is in a curved horizontal slot marked M B T.
