Cannot find the answer to this one.
I want to test the speed of an old, packard style shutter. I bought it used off the forum, repaired it myself -very simple mechanism inside, mostly it just needed a good cleaning - and I find I can to a small degree control the shutter speed by how fast I squeeze the air bulb.
So as you can see, very low tech here, so nothing I want to send off for formal testing. See the pictures attached below. Don't want to build anything or buy a shutter tester just for this project, so any ideas, short of wasting a few sheets of film?
