This is a Copal number 1 shutter that is mounted on a circular plastic lens board that is marked for the MP-4 camera system. The periphery of the lens board is graduated from f 4.5 to f 32 with a lever that actuates a pin protruding from the rear of the lens board. The shutter does not have an aperture diaphragm � the pin appears to actuate a diaphragm located externally to the shutter, possibly within the lens, which is absent.

Like most Copal Press rim-set shutters, all speeds including the slow-speeds run by the governor escapement still function perfectly. The shutter may be tripped either by a built-in release on the side of the shutter or by using a cable release (not included). The boss for the cable release has been reinforced with some sort of epoxy.

The shutter is in excellent condition but the lens board nomenclature is printed on a thin piece of plastic which is pulling away from the lens board on the edge. Speeds include from 1 second to 1/125 second. A second lever on the side of the shutter opens the leaves manually.
