As you might be able to see from the picture, my Hermagis Trousse Aplanatique has a kind of bayonet fitting - you only have to rotate the cell a fraction of a turn to screw it tight, the threads are removed in three sectors.
Mine also has three cells marked 7, 8 and 9, while the fourth cell is marked Somethingorother (I'm at work now) 210mm f:6.8.
