Hi - Can anyone point me to the chart of focal plane shutter speeds for a speed graphic? not sure if it's an anniversary or pre-war or what. any of the charts would be useful to get oriented. thanks!

Early Anny:

A B C D
1 10 70 200 500
2 15 80 240 600
3 20 90 280 700
4 25 100 320 800
5 30 125 360 900
6 40 150 400 1000

Late Pre-Ann

1/8 3/8 3/4 1 1/2
1 350 110 49 10
2 440 135 50 15
3 550 160 65 20
4 680 195 75 35
5 825 235 80 30
6 1000 295 90 35

I had them spaced out but the html scrunched them together. Anniversary Speeds will have letters in the window near the wind key. Pre-Anns and before will have the width of the slit 1/8inch etc.

Well it was - it's a basket case, I'm using the focal plane shutter for a frankencamera...
