Magazine Operation
Loading the Magazine
The magazine may be loaded on, or off the
camera.
If
it is to
be
loaded off the camera then
the magazine slide must be inserted, its flat side
towards the rear. This facilitates removal of the
film holder for loading. Follow the procedure
below.
1)
Fold out the film holder key.
2)
Turn the key counter-clockwise and with-
draw the film holder.
3)
An
empty take-up spool should be placed
under the splined knob of the spool clamp bar.
Insert a roll of film under the other end of the
bar, ensuring that it
is
turned the same way
as
in the illustration.
Be
careful to remove all the
paper tape that surrounds a new roll of film.
4) Turn the film holder key clockwise
to
open
the film clamp. Pull 8 - 1
Ocm
(3
- 4 in.) of paper
backing off the film roll and slide the edge
under the clamp.
5)
Insert the tongue of the backing paper into the
slot
in
the take-up spool.
6)
Turn the splined knob clockwise until the
arrow on the paper backing is opposite the
triangular index on the spool clamp bar, but
no further.
7)
Turn the film holder key counter-clockwise
and insert the film holder into the magazine -
jiggling it a little if it does not click into place.
Lock the film holder into the magazine by
turning the key clockwise.
8)
Fold out the film crank and rotate it clockwise
about ten turns until it stops. Turn the crank
counter-clockwise and fold it
in
.
