I don't know of any way of getting round the M series linkage, but back in the mists of time I read somewhere of a technique with screw Leicas which seemed to work. It goes likes this: 1) Make the first exposure. 2) With the shutter run down, press down the shutter button, and turn the speed selection dial all the way back against the spring with the button held down. 3) Let go of the shutter button. You should now be ready for a second exposure on the same frame. I hasten to add that the usual disclaimers apply - I don't hold myself responsible for mangled camera innards when people try this technique. Do so entirely at your own risk!
