       DAYLIGHT    LOADING
zffHE        No.  2  Agfa Ansco Box camera is a    daylight-loading.  This means thar  ir can
be loaded practically anywhere excepr in the
open  sunshine,  which   should  aln'ays  be
avoided when putting  in or taking  out rhe
film.     If   it  is not  convenienr  to  load the
camera in the house or on the veranda, step
under the shade of a tree or into  the shade
of a doorway, or   if  out  in  the open Eurn
so as to shade the operation with  your own
body.  The point  is to avoid  if  possible the
intensity of unobstrucred sunlight.

  Now  remove  the  cone  as  in   Illustra-
tion 2.  This is done by holding the camera
as shown, pulling  out  the winding  key so
that  it no longer engages slot in end of film
spool.  As you remove the cone, note the
position, so that you will  quickly see which
side comes up when   it   is returned  to  the
camera after loading.  The point  to keep in
mind  is that when  the cone is returned  to
the camera freshly loaded it  will  be the slot
in the empty  spool which  will  engage with
the winding  key.
