    Re: Question on shutter bulb

    Re: Question on shutter bulb

    I don't understand your reply. I know that the hole must be plugged for it to work, why would I ever want to remove the plug? why make the bulb with a hole on top?

    Re: Question on shutter bulb

    Yes, but that begs the question, why is there a second opening in the bulb if it need to be plugged?

    Question on shutter bulb

    I purchased a shutter bulb from Packard Shutter. The bulb end has a wood plug stuffed in it. Since the bulb does not work without the plug, what is the purpose of the plug?

    Anyone know if the camera used film or glass plates back then?
  19. Re: What do I have? Century 7A, Packard shutter, Usener lens

    Thanks, thats the same engraving as mine. By your measurement method, I calculate it to be 350mm. The engraving looks pristine, so fortunately, the polishing did not damage it
  20. Re: What do I have? Century 7A, Packard shutter, Usener lens

    Thanks for the info. I had no idea how to measure the focal length, thanks. Yes, it was over polished. I purchased it that way. I would have preferred the original patina as well.
