To obtain instantaneous exposures, move lever 17 to position I
and then set button 22 on P.
The antinuous release is an accessory available on request.
It allows the mechanism to be set in motion without jerking
or unsteadiness, whether moving pictures or single exposures
are being made.
Handcranking (forwards and backwards) :
To disengage the spring of the motor, whether fully wound
or not, bring down lever 12 to 0 (13) (down to the end of the
arrow). In case of resistance being felt before lever 12 can
be brought right down, push button 21. This will ease the
operation. The transport mechanism of the film is thus made
independent of the clockwork motor and may be worked by
other means. To handcrank, introduce the handle provided
into socket 14 and set button 22 on M. To wind the film
backwards, turn the handle in the direction of the arrow. To
handcrank forwards, turn the handle the other way. The speed
regulator also acts as a brake when the mechanism is worked
by hand, so that one should try not to handcrank faster than
the speed for which button 19 has been set.
When being wound backwards, the film is automatically
taken up by delivery spool 28. It is therefore possible to wind
back any length of film. When the film is wound back, the
counters subtract. Axis 14 may also be operated by some
other means than handcranking—for instance, by a special
electric motor.
Never rewind the motor by means of the handle whilst the
motor is disengaged.
To re-engage the spring motor, move button 22 on to " Stop ",
detach the cranking handle and bring lever 12 on to " Motor
Safety locking device :
To prevent the mechanism from starting and ruining the film
when the camera is loaded, either by accident or on account
of careless handling, move lever 12 to position "0 " (down to
the end of the arrow).
