Default Metra (Czech) exposure meter: help!

Hello,

I have received an old selenium bas Metra exposure meter.
Does anyone know how to use the red scale (graduate from 3 to 15)?
Thanks,

They are most probably LV numbers. The range would fit the sensitivity
of a selenoiium meter. If the meter also has a film speed setting, you
can use it to convert the LV to EV numbers, which define shutter speed
and aperture combinations. Google for Exposure Value.

Hei Lassi,

Your information was right, that seems to be the LV values.
Kiitos,
