Any source of that book on the internet?
I did find: "Linhof 100 Jahre 1887-1987"......
but no indications in that book that Linhof was involved in the invention / development of the Compound and Compur shutters
As far as I know there is little actual evidence to the claim that the Linhof shutter was taken over by Deckel. However there is some anecdotal evidence including wikipedia and a couple of the camera guide books by those Scottish fellows....
The book Bob refers to is presented in both German and English (in the same book, to be clear). The German title is Das Linhof Camera Buch and its English title is The Linhof Camera Story. I have the August 2000 2nd edition. Editor/Publisher is Peter Bauernschmid. I can't find an ISBN. The page that Embdude shows is page 121 in this edition.
I don't remember where I got my copy.
