Buckle Switch With Manual Override
The buckle switch (film end switch H) works properly only if the lower film loop is
formed exactly according to the marking in camera body. When the end of the
film has passed the film gate, the lower loop shortens, thereby pulling up the
switch roller H, which in turn cuts off the camera motor. The camera can only be
switched on again after the pressure roller assembly A has been opened and
closed as described in the previous paragraph. The buckle switch also stays
"OFF" in the event that the pressure roller assembly A is not closed properly, i.e.,
the camera will not start. Any shortening of the lower loop during the running of
the camera actuates the buckle switch to prevent film jamming.
Never actuate or force the switch roller H by hand!
The buckle switch override button (9) underneath the finder tube permits the
cameraman to circumvent the buckle switch circuit. On certain adverse and rare
occasions, particularly due to heavy-duty shock or vibration, the micro switch of
the buckle switch might trip and switch the camera off. With the override
mechanism the cameraman can quickly restart the camera without opening the
camera cover.
