In the pre-55 era I beleve the lower end was 1/50th and 1/100. (Okay the bottom was always 1/30th) The post '55 (or around that time) they were bumped to 1/60th and 1/125.

Now I'm finding out that Graflex offered a special FP shutter with a 1/375 and 1/750 in place of the 1/125 and 1/250th. (the 1/1000 th stays the same)

Does anybody have a Speed with a 1/375 1/750 shutter speed?

These would all be Pacemakers, factory fits would be post '55 but they could have been retrofited.

Les, my 1947-made 2x3 Pacemaker Speed's FPS has 1/30, 1/50, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000. I just looked at it, so there's not much question of failing memory.

Cheers,
