Camera Loading & Threading
Turn cover lock (14) from “C” to “O” and lift cover. Lay cover down and be sure
switch is in OFF position otherwise switch activating pin could get bent. Place
100 ft. film spool on upper spindle. Pull off about 2 feet of film. Both spindles
have an automatic lock to hold film spool in place in any camera position. To take
film spool out, push button in center of spindle and tilt camera sideways.
Open film gate by pressing latching knob
inwards and swing the pressure pad
assembly open on its hinges. Before
threading film, open pressure roller assembly
A by pressing button B. Thread film around
sprocket drum C. Swing off pressure roller 0-
1, if necessary. Then arrest film by swinging
back pressure roller D-1. Lead film to gate E
by forming an upper loop according to
marking in the camera body above the film
gate. Register pin F must be in disengaged
(up) position. If it is not, turn motor inching
knob (27) until pin is lifted over the film guide.
Place film into gate in such a way that a perforation hole engages the protruding
film transport claw. Hold film down with two fingers, one at either end of the gate
and turn inching knob (27) until the registration pin engages film and holds it in
place. Be sure film lays flush down against the aperture plate, then close gate.
Thread film around sprocket drum G, forming a lower loop according to the
marking in the camera body below the gate, and close pressure roller D2, At this
point the roller assembly A should be securely closed.
The sprockets are designed to accept either single or double perforated
film. It is important to set film properly by moving it back and forth with two
fingers over each sprocket until you can feel that the sprocket teeth have
engaged the perforations.
Push the leading end of the film into the take-up slot
of an empty 100 ft. daylight spool and secure it by a few turns. Place the spool on
the take-up spindle and be sure it "'snaps" into place securely.
The knurled spindle discs (28,36) outside of the camera serve to take up film
slack by turning them in direction of the engraved arrows.
When the film is running, these discs turn and indicate whether film goes forward
or backward. When film has run off, the supply spindle stops turning thus
indicating the end of the film in the event the buckle switch is not functioning.
Prior to switching camera "ON" or closing the cover, move a few inches of
film through gate by manually turning inching knob [27] clockwise.
With camera connected to power, push down internal switch (K) and watch about
2 feet of film roll through the camera. (Note: A "100 ft. roll" of film on a daylight
loading spool actually measures 106 feet to permit enough leader and trailer.)
