The manufacturers of the older leaf shutters generally recommend
the shutter be left cocked.  From a mechanical point of view, the
cocked state will result in less chance of the shutter misbehaving
(going sticky) as the driving spring is much stronger than the return
spring, so there is more force available to 'break free' any sticky parts.
