[LargeFormat] Compund Shutters

[Les Newcomer]

I've looked under the hood a couple of times, but if your intending to 
send me a bag of parts in hopes of putting Humpty  back together then 
you've got the wrong guy.

Not that this is news to you, but the gear train usually found on the 
right side of say a Graphex is replaced by a rather simple compression 
system for the low gears and a smaller train for speeds above 1/25  
hence the term compound.  The dial at the top moves the cylinder 
position for the slow speeds and cuts it out of the circuit at the 
higher ones.
