There's a couple different versions of these critters.

Sounds like the one you have is the one that is made
for flashes which have a "PC" terminal.  Which is what
a Kodak stereo has after you put a converter on it.

There's basically two kinds of standard flash connections.  
One with "PC" connectors and the other is via a hot-shoe.

There are "converters" between the two as well.  More or
less.

The tiny slave unit I've got has a hot shoe connector on
it that I slide on the flash.

P.S. - I do have a old flash that I bought about 25 years
       ago that has a short cord and PC connector on the end.
       Uh..... which "sex" of PC connector does it have on it?
