The new series was introduced by Deckel for the EVS system about 1960.

I am not sure but think the system may have been introduced on a
Rolleiflex camera.

I have tested many mechanical shutters on a reasonably accurate shutter test
system over the years. I'd suggest the differences between these nominal
speeds is irrelevant, at least for mechanical systems. So I treat them
interchangeably. most usually mapping 1/5 -> 1/4. 1/10 -> 1/8 and so on.
