Talykron shutters are rim-set leaf shutters made by the Leicester, UK firm of Taylor-Hobson in the 1950s. They are usually seen on folding cameras also equipped with Taylor-Hobson's lenses, often representing the higher level of specification offered in a range.
'Talykron' was also the name of a brand of recording clock[1] (such as might be used to record factory workers' hours worked). These clocks were sold by a Leicester company, 'Talykron Ltd', presumably related to Taylor-Hobson, which was wound up in 1915.[2]
