Richard,
About 10 years ago, I found a case of those Kalart "light beam"
rangefinders for the Rolleiflex at a garage sale. I had a devil of a time
trying to get rid of them one-by-one on this website. They were intended
for the f3.5 75mm lens Rolleis, but I had a f2.8 80mm lens
I was told that they worked very well.

Kalart made a rangefinder model for use on TLR cameras. It was
screwed to the bottom of the camera using the tripod connector. It had
an actuating arm that reached in front of the lensboard. Of course it
would not work on front element focusing cameras like the Kodak Reflex.
One also finds older Rolleiflex cameras with fittings for a flash
solenoid. Usually these were arranged so that the solenoid could be
removed when not in use. Often an extra trip lever was fixed to the
shutter. Other solenoids used the cable release socket to actuate the
shutter.
