Olympus 35 IVa old view camera

Picked this one up last week on Ebay for $37.00 with extra poop.

Great shape for 1953

Much better shape, Tom, than this '53 model.

Or this 57 model . (Candid by my 16 year old.) Nice to put a face with a name

I recently picked one up as well. I'm curious. What do the letters R D and A mean on the switch on the top? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Rewind Double-Expose Advance?

 

[tmk16]

I checked the D does appear to be double exposure. The R is probably rewind but I won't know till I put film in it. I don't know what A stands for but it seems to be normal single exposure.
