A shutter suitable for use with a single lens at the diaphragm (as employed in the bull's-eye kodak, and shown complete at Fig. 1) may be made as follows: - Cut thin brass or zinc to the shape shown by Fig. '-'. The centre part A is punched in, and upon it the shutter or circle turns. The projections are turned up, and the part B, after being pierced and cut round, is turned up on the dotted line. Now cut the releasing arm (Fig. 3) in the metal, bending in the dotted lines to the form .J. Note the slot L. Around the screw or pin fitting the screw hole M goes one end of the steel wire shown in Fig. 1, which passes from it through 0 across L, and very loosely through the large hole in B. The fixing of the shutter is shown in Fig. 1, and when attached to the camera front by a broad-headed screw through D and another at Z, the catch P is fixed in the correct position. Through the arm the wire pulls the shutter round when out of the way of projection Q or G. As the shutter stands away from the front, space is left for the diaphragms between it and the lens. These consist of three holes formed in the triangular plate R worked by the arm S and guided by the semicircular piece T. The position of the first and last diaphragm is governed by the slot U, but the middle one is centred with the lens by having a dent T1 in R, which receives a similar projection (the under part of the dent) in T. For time exposures the arm V (Fig. 1), also shown at Fig. 4, is lifted, the slot W passing around the screw X, and when raised it meets the projection F, and, on pressing the release in the opposite direction, it returns. Projections H and I then come into use. The method of bending the arm may be gathered from Fig. 1, which shows the shutter set for an instantaneous exposure, it having travelled halfway.
