These shutters really work from speeds 1/1000 down to 1/8. I have been using a couple of them for the last six months.
Let me know what you may think about this lightweight (4.4oz) unit.
Thanks in advance:

Cool
But that's not at the focal plane- the film is the focal plane
That nitpick aside, Cool

Figure out a way to display the actual travel of the shutter and you will have the golden egg of devices.
Re: Slip on focal plane shutter
That looks pretty neat, how does one select shutter speeds?
Re: Slip on focal plane shutter
Two good shutters went unsold on Ebay last night, the seller mis-labelled them as pre-Packard type shutter, while they were Thornton Pickard (or copies).
They often sell for very little and are extremely easy to service/renovate.

Selecting the speeds is simply removing a pin and repositioning the curtains. Not shown in the photos.
Re: Slip on focal plane shutter
The Thorton-Pickard that is for sale now is much more expensive and looks to out weight the Gatts/Tincher shutter many time over. I don't have to defend the Gatts/Tincher shutter, it has proven itself time and time again! Reich, do you mean the actual travel speed of the shutter? It falls at 32 feet per second, according to Newton.
