Unloading the Camera
At the end of a film :
As soon as a reel has been exposed, which can be ascertained
by means of the counter, allow the mechanism to work for a
little while to make quite sure that the trailer has passed
through. This can be checked at all times as directed on
page 5, last paragraph. Get ready the metal container in which
the reel of film was supplied. Open the camera, preferably
in a shady corner, and replace the reel of film immediately
in the metal container, which in its turn should be put into the
cardboard box ready to be sent for processing.
Before the complete reel has passed through :
Push down lever 17 to T. Remove the lid, either in a shady
corner or, if possible, in total darkness. The loop guides
31 and 39 are already open. Open film guide 34 by slightly
lifting the knob which holds it in position and remove the
film from sprocket 32. Close film guide 34. Open film guide
36 by slightly lifting the knob as with guide 34, and open
pad 33 in the same way. Now move button 22 on to P so that
the claw is withdrawn from the gate, and while holding it in
this position remove the film from the latter and from
sprocket 38.
Close film guide 36 and pad 33. Close the loop guides for
the next automatic loading.
(See paragraph : Marking if a partly exposed film has to be
removed, page 7.)
Special note on double run 8 mm films (model H 8
camera) :
When double run 8 mm film has been passed through the
camera once, it has only been exposed on one side. To
expose the other side, turn round the spools and reload as
instructed in Chapter I.
The white figures I and II on Bolex spools supplied with
the apparatus will serve as a reminder as to whether the film
has been exposed on one or both sides.
