How to Make Photographs
with the No. 2, No. 2A, No. 3
and No. 3A Buster Brown

O not attempt to load the camera—that is, to

D insert the film cartridge—until by examining

the camera carefully you have become

familiar with the purpose and the use of every one of

its parts. ‘The instructions in this book will help
you to do it.

The No. 2 Buster Brown takes a film cartridge
for six exposures, the No. 2A and No. 3 take film
cartridges for six and twelve exposures, and the
No. 3A takes cartridges for cither six or ten ex-
posures.

t, stand the camera on the lens end with
the winding key facing, and by lifting the metal
catch at the rear end of the camera release the back
door, which gives access to the interior; then pull
out the winding key as far as it will go, and with
the left hand slide out the interior mechanism of
the camera completely. In other words, the camera
is a box within a box.

Inserting the Cartridge

‘The inner case of the camera contains two film
receptacles. Place the empty spool or reel in the
receptacle which has the round hole on top. The
spool is put in by inserting the pin of the tonguc-
spring in the round hole of spool, while the spool
is held at an angle; then press gently on the upper
flange of the spool until it slides into the metal cup
in which it revolves.
