My early Shugart 3.5" diskettes had no shutter.
Then came the manually slide open, and pinch the
corner to close.
Many fairly modern diskettes still have the little
arrow that pointed to
where you were to pinch it!
It's too bad that the 3" didn't carry the field.

I always wondered what the arrow was for.
Thanks for that Fred.

I grabbed one that was handy on my desk here to look at it, and the arrow was
pointing at a blob of solder that had hit the thing, which I then removed...
Dunno what's on that one, but no label means I'm not too worried about it.
