Elias,
I believe that this 'mechanism' was originally designed to test the
cameras in the factory. Previously the 'test to destruction' had been
carried out by an employee with sore fingers. 100,000(?)cycles was a lot
of repetitive strain injury. Hence some automatic way was devised and
then these were later manufactured and sold as an accessory.
I am sure Carlos will have more information.

Maybe one of the silliest rollei attachments ever - but fascinating just
the same. Is there an application F&H didn't try to make their cameras
useful for?
To follow up on previous discussions about whether or not Rolleiflexes
were aimed at amateur or professional, it seems a fine job was done
straddling the divide, and this is one very good example.
Happy Easter Rolleios!
