question on lens mounting

Lats night I picked up a Goerz 19 inch red dot artar at a pretty
reasoable price.
Now I wonder about mouting it in a shutter -- an expensive option.
Is there any shutter that it will directly front-mount onto?
Or should I just give consideration to a Packard for practicality?

What are the dimensions?

Looks like the thread is 64mm.

Here is a great resource: http://www.skgrimes.com/fits/index.htm

There is an entry for the 19" f-11 Goerz Arter.
Search the page (command-F) for that string.

Short answer is #3 Copal, #4 Ilex, or front-mount with #5 Ilex.

But I've forgotten what they're called.

A Packard shutter, such as the following?

No. I know Packards. I use them.

There was a roller-shutter enclosed in a box that fit to the front of
the lens. Gosh, I know the name-brand of it will come to me later,
probably just as my head hits the pillow to sleep.
