What shutter does it have? There might be a name like Pronto or Prontor, something like that, on the shutter housing.

I wasn't thinking: a readyset shutter operates in one action, both cocking and releasing with the same lever movement. This may help: http://www.rolandandcaroline.co.uk/html/karatupdate.html. It sounds like lighter fuel to the rescue again.
