the slotted end foces the open circle.
 Pull out the cover poper to the left obout 8 inches, turn
the poper round the left roller, ond poss it over the

The counting devicc of the rollholder is stopped outo-
            moticolly for oll 8 exposures by the lever entering  in
            holes of the counting wheel. In this position the film
           key connot be moved. You must therefore releose the
             lever by o slight pressure in the direction of the orrow,
           before you con give the obove mentioned 2 or 3 turns
            to the key.
           After oll exposures ore mode, turn key until the
          whole of the cover poper is spooled. Open the bock,
          withdrow the film key, fix it by o slight turn to the
               left, toke out the film coge, ond remove the exposed
                filmroll.
             Rollholder with fllm-wtndow
       On the outside of the rollholder bock is o speciolly
           shoped protective shield, to guord ogoinst fogging of
           Ponchromotic film, while the red window is tempororily
           open. Do not bend this shield.
            After releosing the film key by o slight turn to the right,
          ond hoving it grip into the slot of the spool, give 2 or
         3 turns, to ensure thot the cover poper is secured to
           toke up spool.
          Close the cover of the holder, open thc nickeled
            protectiVe shield of the film window, ond turn the key
           clockwise until the figure ,,2" which is printed on the
           cover poper is centered in the red window. During this
           monipulotion the lever must of course be pulted bock,
            otherwise the counting wheel would stop the movement
         by its holes os soon os one of the figures l-8 oppeors
           opposite the index.
