setting gear assembly (figure 7). The shutter
setting gear is keyed to the shutter setting gear
shaft assembly (figure 1) , which extends through
the mechanism plate. Underneath the mechanism
plate the roller on the shaft makes contact with the
shutter setting blade assembly and as the shaft is
rotated , forces the shutter setting blade assembly
over to the right and cocks the shutter. The shutter
setting blade assembly bears against the left shut-
ter operating lever lug (figure 10), whic1iln turn
bears against the shutter operating lever and end
assembly.
As the winding key knob is turned beyond the
point where the shutter is cocked , the roller on the
shutter setting gear shaft assembly moves back
toward the key knob and the shutter setting blade
assembly is returned to its original position by the
shutter setting guide spring (figure 13), which is
looped over the pin on the shutter s etting blade which
extends through the mechanism plate and the shutter
setting lever light guard on top of the mechanism
plate .
When
the shutter s etting gear assembly has turn-
ed until the cutout portion of the gear is next to the
key post gear , the shutter setting gear spring pulls
the gear around and locks it against the shutter s et-

ting gear stop lever which is pulled toward the shut-
- ter setting gear by the shutter setting stop lever
spring . The locking is done by means of the stud
which projects downward from the shutter setting
gear and the projecting lug on the shutter setting
gear stop lever . The cutout portion of the shutter
s etting gear is still next to the key post gear , so
that until the shutter setting gear stop lever is
moved out of the way by the safety lever assembly
later in the cycle, the winding key knob can be turn-
ed without turning the shutter setting gear assembly.
This position of the mechanism is the one illustrated
in figure 13 .

When the safety latch (figure 7) is pushed in and
the safety control driving shaft assembly is turned
with the thumb , the s afety control gear on the top
of
the safety control driving shaft also turns . The
safety control idler gear . no longer locked by the
safety latch , turns and transmits the action of the
safety control driving shaft to the gear on the safety
control cam complete . The gear turns until the
slot in the disk ju s t above the gear is opposite the
left end of the safety lever. The safety lever is un-
der tension from the safety lever spring (figure 13)
and at this point the spring will pull the upper prong
