FIG. 8. MAGAZINE TAKE UP SIDE
3.2. THE MAGAZINE
The distinguishing feature of an ACL 60m (200ft)
magazine is that the major part of the film transport
mechanism is an integral part.
The co-axial magazine is divided into two sections
each having a separate lid.
Loading is simplified as there is no feed sprocket to
negotiate in the dark. Six inches of film is fed through
a light trap into the take-up compartment. From this
stage the entire loop forming procedure is made in
the light.
A single sprocket acts as a feed to the gate via the
top loop and following film transportation by the claw
displaces the lower loop prior to the take-up assem-
bly which is friction driven.
The sprocket is driven through a universal joint and
gear which is automatically coupled to the camera
body when the magazine is in position.
A displacement indicator registers the amount of
unexposed film and is automatically reset when the
feed side lid is fitted.
