Because of a recent question on another Forum i discovered that some Gauthier shutters have a 2 character text on the righthandside of the diaphragma scale. Does anybody know if they have a special meaning (i.e. production site, printpad number, type number, flash synchronisation) ?
So far noticed :
"bt" on the Velio of 2 Kodak 66 Model III folders.
"f2" on the Velio of a Zeiss Ikon Signal-Nettar
"r1"on the Pronto of a Voigtländer Perkeo I |

Could be code for whatever camera they are mounted on. I've always ignored them, but now you have me courious, Hans.

Phil, the codes on the 2 Kodaks were the same so yes, i think that there is a link with the camera model.
Also had a look at Gauthier shutters on other folders then the ones in my OP but they do not have these texts.
If there are users with a Signa-Nettar or Perkeo I could you please have a look at the shutter if the texts are the same as in my OP ? |
