I'm not absolutly positive of this answer, but I don't believe there was
one. The main idea behind the handgrip is to put a new shutter release
button on top of the camera . . . you see, the shutter release on the
CAMERA cannot activate the winder as the winder is mechanically
activated, not electrically . . .
For example, if I put the ME II winder on the ME Super, turned on the
winder and the camera and depressed the CAMERA shutter release, the
shutter would release, but the camera would not wind, I would need to
wind it by hand . . . if instead, I were to hit the WINDER release the
shutter would fire, and (if I held the relase long enough), the winder
motor would kick in and wind the film for me.
