Film check in H 8 cameras :
H 8 cameras are provided with
a film check which presses against
the coils of film on the feed and
take-up spools, thus preventing
them from unrolling during loading
or at the end of a shooting (Fig. 10).
Before setting the spools in po-
sition in the camera, open fully
the two levers 45 and 46, placing
them in position c.
Hold the full spool in such a way
that the coils do not unroll and
place it on its spindle 29, the notch
at the centre of the spool facing
the red mark on the spindle. Once
the spool is in place, regulate the
position of lever 45 according to
the capacity of the spool by slightly
lifting knob 47.
25 ft. spool = position a ;
50 ft. spool = position b ;
100 ft. spool = position c.
When loading is completed (see
page 5) and the take-up spool in
place, regulate film check lever 46
in the same way.
Fig. 10
When unloading the camera, hold the take-up spool in such
a way that the coils do not unroll, then open fully lever 46
(position c) before removing the spool.
