Undoubtedly I am totally ignorant of how the Compur and Rapid variant 
are mounted in the Rollei.
How is the aperture and shutter information displayed? Is it marked on 
rotating rings which are part of the shutter itself?
What else but the shutter is hidden by the stamped out cover over the 
two lenses?
Ideally I would like the shutter shifted so I can use that cable release on the Compur Rapid. I assume that this would mean the cover could not 
be retained.
Gawd, what a mongrel! If Rollei had installed this shutter they would 
have made sure the cable release was usable.
Why on earth if the original shutter was replaced wasn't it done properly?

Rollei List
The shutter does not have marks. The shutter speed ring and iris lever have tabs which fit into notches in rings in the front cover. A standard shutter can not be used. Its possible the shutter from a later Rollei camera was substituted for the original shutter. The shutter must be installed so that the speed and stop controls line up so, if the cable release socket is in a different place, it won't line up. The Rolleicord IV has a different system for connecting the cable release to the shutter internally. I don't quite remember how this is arranged.
