then
exert
additional
pressure
on
it
to
make
certain

. (See

if
th
e film
chamber
is detached.) Slide
the
film into
the film
channel
and
between the STUD
and
the
front

film in the film
channel
and
press
th
e exposu
re
button
for
an
instant;
then
release it.
If
the film
is
correctly
threaded,
the
pulldown will
draw
the film
through
th
e film channel.
If
it
is incor-
rectly
thread
ed, the film will
unwind
from
the
s
uppl
y
spool
and
will pile
up
without
going
through
the
film
channe
l.
When
the
film is
properly
threaded,
take
hold
of
the loose
end
of film
and
hold
in
the
exposure
button
until
about
an ad
ditional foot
and
a half of film is
run
off
the
supply spool.
note:
If
the film chamber is not attached to the mechanism
part of the camera, insert the film into
the
film channel as
follows:
Rotat
e the
SPROCKET
until the
pulldown
is clear
of
the film
channel;
then
open the pressure plate
and
slide the film into
the channel.
Turn
the sprocket counterclockwise a few times
so
that the
pulldown
draws the film through the channel.
It
may
be necessary to move the film in the channel slightly until
the
pulldown
engages
th
e perforations. The sprocket
must
turn
easily
and
the
pulldown
must
draw
the
film through
the
channel.
