Hi, Stan. What I was mainly talking about was an LX Battery Remote Cord, which holds two button cells (or one 3-Volt Lithium cell) in a cute little chamber at one end of the cord. At the other end of the cord is a plug of sorts that mates with an LX body's empty battery chamber. The LX's normal battery chamber cover is used to close up that cute little chamber at the other end of the cord. Finally, there is an extra little gizmo (a "tool" I guess you could call it) on the cord (and which can slide up and down the cord) that is used to help the cord's plug screw into and out of the LX body's empty battery chamber. Heck, Stan, this is harder to describe than it is to scan - <g> - I'll put a scan of this on my web site in a few minutes. The good news is that using this LX Battery Remote Cord will allow keeping the LX body's own metering and shutter power source nice and toasty warm inside the photographer's clothing, even while the LX itself is outside in the frigid air on some cold winter's day. The bad news is that this makes for a cord running out from the LX's battery compartment on the bottom of the body, making it impossible to attach a winder (or motor drive).
