are at the top, and the red label on the film pack is outside
or toward the back of the camera. See Fig. II.
Caution: When placing the film pack in the camera, grasp
tlre pack by the edges as shown in illustration (Fig. II),
do not squeeze the films by pressing in the top paper or "safety
Cover". If the films are squeezed, light might be admitted
which would fog the edges of the films.
After the pack has been placed in the camera in the proper
position, replace the back of the camera. To do this, have the
Fig. II. short edge of the back with the long notch in it at the top, fit
the two small projections on the long edges into the grooves on
each side of the camera, then push the back down, to make it
secure. The camera now being loaded, proceed as follows:
Operation of the Kodak Film Pack
For the first exposure gently pull out tab marked ,,Safety
Cover," pulling the tab out perfectly straight, holding the
remaining tabs under the finger and thumb of the other hand
to prevent the possibility of pulling out more than one tab at
a time, Fig. III.
when the red cross trine appears, tear off from left to right
by bending tab backward over the metal straight edge.
The first film is now in position for exposure.
After making the exposure pull out in a similar manner the
black paper tab marked No. 1 and tear it off. Film No. 2 is
now in position for exposure. Repeat the operation of pulling
out and tearing off the black paper tabs one at a time as often
as additional exposures are made.
