It is a little clock mechanism with a lock and adjustable plunger length. You adjust the plunger all the way in, and start testing, adjusting it out until it just releases the shutter. Then lock down the plunger for future use on M's. To use, you screw it into the M release, wind the clock, set the lock. When you and everyone is ready, you release the lock and, if you are going to be in the picture, join the group (or whatever.) It is made by KOBAL, and it says "made in occupied Japan". I've had it for donkey's years. But it works great and will not jam your release mechanism with a too long of a throw.
