I'm just in the process of cleaning a Compur Rapid shutter (type EX/CR00) of my Voigtländer Perkeo II folder.

During disassembly i noticed that 1 shutter blade is different from the others. It has 2 holes instead of 1.

The Deckel Spareparts catalog calls this shutter blade a Cover blade (part N/CRoo-208/7.

With this shutter that Cover blade is mounted second from the top (see red arrow). Now i have the question if this is the normal position for the coverblade ? Regarding its name i would have expected it sitting on top.

btw The fluid dripping from the blades is oil. A former owner thought that a flooding with oil would be a good idea ;-)

My guess (and I could be wrong) is it doesn't really matter where this blade goes. After all, that extra hole has no function, so far as I can tell; it's just there to identify that blade.

Does that blade also have a slightly angled lip on the end? I'm guessing not.

Oil to lubricate shutter blades? Hey, why not: after all, it works on my bicycle ...

Just wondering David why there is a difference.

Why does the spareparts catalog calls this a Coverblade and the other ones just Blades ?

It has no angled lip as far as i noticed. But there might be another reason.

Concerning the oil i think the former owner thought "What is good for my cars gearbox must be good for my cameras gearbox too !" ;-)
