couldn't find anything on this

i don't know how to attache a cable release to this lens.
schneider 90mm f8 super angulon lens
i have a toyo view 4x5 and it is mounted on a recessed lens board. it has no threaded socket for a cable , and the shutter just has a lever that fires the shutter.
so my question is: what do i need to attach a cable?
 
If it's in the typical compur or copal shutter there should be a cable release socket.
But a recessed board may not leave much room for a standard release and you will likely need the sort of adaptor Moopheus linked, or else one of these;

You may need to remove the lens from the board to get the adaptor in place.
 
Sounds as if there isn't a cable release socket? An exterior block next to the release lever, or an opening in the shutter body threaded for a cable?

If you search 'recessed lens board cable release,' you'll see a variety of linkages and such. It's usually a series of hacks if you don't have the factory kit. Here's someone going through a process- http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/recessed_lensboard/ You add a slot or foot on the actuator piece to connect to your shutter lever, maybe.

B&H has this for Toyo- http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/112204-REG/Toyo_View_180_641_Angled_Cable_Release_Adapter.html
That might give you idea on making your own.
 
Most or all Toyo monorails don't need a recessed board with a 90mm lens if you have a bag bellows. A flat board and bag bellows setup is easier to use too. Regarding the shutter having no cable release socket... the second link in Dan's post above would be my choice.
 
found the cable release socket . sometimes i baffle myself with my own stupidity. thanks for the replies
