 Drop the new roll of film into the slot
 supported by the bronze clip. Thread film
 onto bare spool which you will find in the
 camera. The part of the winding knob
 which is inside the camera has a hole in
  it with a key which cuts it in half.
 Place the film spool into the hold of the
 winding knob so that the key will ride
 between the two open ends of the film
 spool. Thus, when you turn the knob,
 the key will turn the film spool. The flm
 can now be dropped in place and the
 cover put back on the camera. Replace
 back and lock securely.
 To unload, wind film to the end, so that
 the paper is fully wound on the spool
 and remove the film from camera. Re,

"1" comes into view in center of window

can then take your second picture. Re'
peat this same procedure with each num,
ber and be sure to remember that all the
numbers take TWO pictures each---one
when number appears in lower window

and tends to give people an unnatural ap,

the subjects are in shadow or the light is
dull. Follow instructions given in the
