Thanks for your help, Dave. That's good information to know.

Thanks again, everyone. It's all come clear and I now know more about the old-style battery cases than any St*r W*ars fan!

In case anyone is interested, the source of the information that I provided is: GRAPHIC GRAFLEX PHOTOGRAPHY Ninth edition (Revised) by Morgan and Lester. Chapter 26 "How to use the Graflex and Graphic cameras", pg. 371. This section gives information on "Graflex Flash Synchronizers".

Apparently there were part numbers for these synch cords. Shutter synch cords were A-20 or F-17. Also listed is the R-180 remote control cord. Solenoid cords were S-17 or S-36.

I have never seen an example of one of the mentioned cords that went from the glass eye socket to the focuspot and was wondering if anyone else had ever seen one.
