I now have several Copal #3 shutters, with/without lenses. There is a brass peg on the back, in curving track partway 'round the lens opening. This has a screw-slot in it and the thing is (apparently) movable. Is it only there to help orient the lens on the lens board, position variable to allow adjustment? or does it link to something inside the gearbox, like the aperture or timing/shutter assemblies?
I don't have "tools" to modify lens boards other than small files, and although my #1 & #0 shutters don't have them they are depicted (in manuals, etc.) as maybe having the orientation peg as well. A few of my variously sized boards have a notch/cut out for a peg, but most don't. Any illumination would brighten my day, thanks, alfredian
