Default Super Ikonta Shutters (flash synch)

I got a great, clear reprint, "IKONA & Super-Ikonta Guide" by "The
Camera Guide", 1952. I haven't finished it yet, but it does list
just which models had shutters with flash synch. Prontor, Compur
and Compur Rapid shutters for the Ikonta and Super Ikontas since
1950 were internally synchronized for flash, however the flash
delay was fixed at X so one had to use shutter speeds to accomodate
the flashbulb's rise time.


Or a mechanical device (solenoid). The first flash gun I ever had was
a Mendolsson (sp?) which I used on a Kodak Monitor. Once one got the
solenoid adjusted - a pain - it worked quite well.
