The Graflex@1000 Shutter presentsa completelynew and modern conceptin
shutters. Therefore,operating proceduresdiffer from those associatedwith
conventionalshutters. lt is important to becomethoroughlyfamiliar with the
shutter if the full capabilitiesof the cameraare to be realized.The instructions
appearingon the oppositepageshould be followedcarefully.controls are visi-
