DESCRIPTION OF
   THE DAYTIGHT FIIM TOADER
                     See Figure  l.
  THE CASE: (t) This is the large bakelite part to
which all the other parts are fastened. The large end
holds the film supply roll; the smaller end holds the
film cartridges or cassettes; the space between con-
tains the counting mechanism.
 THE LIGHT TRAP: (2) This is the circular lid
on the large end of the case. The top edge is round,
except for a small rounded notch. The skirt has an
opening which may be positioned in line with the
Case opening (light trap open) or may be moved to
the right (light trap closed). The movement is limited
by stops on the bottom of the skirt.
 THE TIGHT TRAP KNOB: (3) This is the red
bakelite knob that holds the Light'Trap in place. The
LiSht Trap is free to move within limits although the
Light Trap Knob is tightened down.
 THE ACCESS DOOR: (4) This is the rectang-
ular door that gives you access to the film loading sec-
tion of the case It fits into position and is held in
place by the spring clipwww.butkus.uson its end.

THE SAFETY INTERLOCK: (t) This is the
      metal lever on top of the case. It prevents rernoval
      of the Access Door when the Light Trap is in the open
      position. It also locks the Light Trap closed when
     engaged in the notch along its edge.
    THE BULK FIIM SPINDLE: (6) This is the
     threaded rod in the center of the round end of the
      Case. It protrudes through the top of the Light Trap.
     THE BEARING & KEY: (7) This is the red bake-
       lite spring-loaded assembly on top of the small end
      of the Case. It has two jobs: It acts as an upper spool
     bearing and as a closing key for Leica and Contax
      Cassettes.
I    THE COUNTING KNOB: (8) This is the red
     bakelite pointer knob inside the circle of numbers
    and dots on top of the case. It moves forward one
     notch for each exposure passing the sprocket. The
     Counting Knob can be set by turning to the rigiit.
     THE SPROCKET: (9) This is the metal gear inside
     the small end of the case. It moves with the film and
     movbs the counting knob forward one notch for each
     film frame.            www.butkus.us

THE WINDING CRANK: (10) This is the metal
part that fits through the hole in the bottom of the
case and into the film spools. It acts as a lower bearing
for the film spool and as a winding crank. The motion
is always clockwise                                                                                   r

film to the spool. Tty to refasten your film ends the
same way. THE BOES KOR-KEY DOES THE JOB
OF ANCHORING TO EASTMAN SPOOLS. 49c
AT YOUR DEALERS.
  Loading standard andwww.butkus.usspecial (Leica and Contax)
spools is iimilar in all casei except that the Leica and

Contax Cassettes must be closed mechanically when
   you have finished loading them.
      1. Attach the film to the spool so that the keyed end
    of the spool is at the bottom.
      2. Place the cover over the spool, then pull out the
    Bearing & Key, and drop the cartridge into the right
   end of the Case. Release the Bearing & Key and the
    spool will be held in place.
      3. Replace the Access Door; move the Safety Inter-
    lock against the Access Door; rotate the Light Trap
    anti-clockwise as far as it will go.
I     4. Move the counting knob to'                                    37. Engage the   Winding Crank and turn it until the Counting Knob
   moves to 0.
      J. Now wind on as many exposures as you wish,
    plus three. You may use the visual Counting Knob or
    listen and count the clicks. In other words, if you
   wish to wind 36 exposures, turn the Vinding Crank
    until the Counting Knob registers 39 (36 + 3). For
    18 exposures go to 21 (18 + 3), etc.
      (See note on next page if loading Leica or Contax
     Cassettes.)
      6. Close the Light Trap by rotating it clockwise to

e
its stop; move the Safety Interlock ayay from the
Access-Door; remove Access Door, cut film apart and
reinove loaded cartridge.
NOTE: N7hen loading Leica and Contax Cassettes
you must close the cassettes before you oPen the Access
Door. This is done by turning the Upoer Bearing &
Key anti-clockwise. A slight click will be heard when
the cassette is closed.   ,,       ,                                                           .,1 f . ul S
  To guard against accidental exposure of 6lm left
in the Loader, always turn the Light Trap to the ex-
treme clockwise position (closed) when not in use.
  The Boes Daylight Film Loader will pay for itself
in a very short time. You can reload your film spools
from bulk film and soon save your investment. The
fact that you can do the reloading in daylight adds
to the assurance of dust-free and scratchless negatives.
  You should practice the loading procedure with
sot4e old film before actually using good film. One
more word of caution: Clean the velvet light trap on
your film cartridges occasionally; a small piece of grit
or film might scratch the emulsion.
