REEL LOADING
The plastic ratcheting reels can be adjusted to hold different sizes of film. Simply hold
the reel in both hands, making sure that the outer spiral groove (near the ball bearings) is
on top and facing you.
Twist the right half of the reel clockwise until you hear a click. The two halves can then
be pulled apart. There are 3 “keyed” positions on the reel hub. The narrowest position is
for 35mm or 126, the second for 127, and the widest for 120/220.
Insert the leading end of the film, emulsion down, into the outer spiral groove of the reel
and a few inches past the ball bearings. With both hands on the reel twist the right half
and the left half in opposite directions. You may have to assist the film feeding by placing
the thumb, of your forward moving hand, on the outside of the film.
Keep feeding the film until the end clears the ball bearings.

reels will work. They are available at most photo stores. Contact Photo-
Therm if you prefer to use different style reels.
35 MM FILM Cut off the film leader. Clip the corners of the leading end to make feeding
easier. Cut a “V” into the leading end as shown in sketch. 35 mm film can be started in
the light, but must be fed into the reel in the dark. When you reach the end of the film use
scissors to cut it away from the film cassette. Do not tear the film. An uneven tear may
cause the film to come off the reel.
120/220 FILM. Separate the tape from the backing paper and fold it back over the film.
This will stiffen the end of the film. Load the taped end into the reel. Feed until the back
end is passes the ball bearings.
Bend the 120 Film Clamp and place it over the end of the film into the grooves of the reel,
close to the ball bearings, as shown above. Add a second film clamp on top of the first
one. For extra assurance use a 1 in. piece of leader tape to bond the end of the film to
the film clamp.
Mount the 120 reels in the center of the spindle.
