AGC (Albert Gauthier Calmbach) assembled the Prontor shutters by using seasonal agricultural laborers who were not needed in the fields. Strapping blonde-haired German farmboys with muscles made massive from swinging scythes and driving teams of mules to plow the fields (this being the 1950's). FW Deckel, on the other hand, used dedicated long-hire employees. Prontor shutters are notorious for their unreliability. Compur shutters are generally regarded as the finest mass-produced shutters yet made.
