metal sheath allows the roll holder to be removed, if desired, before

holder. This plate, running in two grooves, presses the film into a
metal frame and holds it flat and taut before the lens. In this position
the film cannot be moved. After the exposure has been completed
the pressure plate is released, permitting the film to be wound o

to the next number. In every instance the pressure plate must be
