The 400 ft magazine is made from re-inforced plastic; it is
light-tight even without the cover plate 26: a baffletype light
trap is fitted inside the film entry aperture to prevent light
entering the magazine. The magazine should be handled
with care and, in particular, it should not be knocked or
dropped.
1. Lift the clamp and remove the light-tight cover plate
from the camera.
2. Remove the cover plate from the magazine film entry
aperture and then position this aperture over the
camera as shown in the illustration opposite.
3. Slip the front lug of the magazine under the front
retaining bar of the support. The magazine will then
clip into place in the housing on the camera.
4. Lower the clamp.
N. B. The carrying handle can be positioned either to
the right or the left of the magazine to suit the
user.
5. Attach the MM take-up motor to the bayonet fitting as
shown in the illustration below. Press the motor into
the fitting and turn it in the direction of the arrow until it
locks fully home. The connector will then be pointing
downwards.
6. Insert the plug on the feed cable for the MM take-up
motor into the upper socket on the MST motor. To
disconnect, press down the small button on the socket
and pull the cable out.
Method of fixing the magazine onto the camera
Spools of 200 ft., even of 100 ft. if the camera is used without a magazine, can be loaded in
daylight. providing sufficient care is taken to avoid direct sunlight when loading the film.
1. When the lids of the magazine and the camera have been taken off, remove the hubs
from the magazine spindles by pressing down the push-buttons a and b on the
spindles.
2. The footage-counter lever must be fitted with the guide roller with the chromium-plated
flanges; raise the lever as far as it will go and it will remain locked in this position. Place
the other guide roller in the clip c.
3. The spring-loaded lever 25 should remain in its disengaged position.
4. Place the spool of unexposed film on the spindle a making sure it is pressed fully home
and locked in position by the retaining device on the spindle.
The motor drives the spool in a clockwise direction.
5. Lower the footage-counter lever. The guide roller will now press against the film (see
illustration opposite).
6. Insert the end of the film into the magazine aperture. Pull 3 c, the film through into the
camera and cut the end with the film cutter.
Loading the magazine and the camera (200 ft spool)
7. Close the loop formers and then proceed with the automatic loading as described
in the instruction manual for the camera. Allow about 2 ft of film to run through the
lower sprocket.
8. Insert the end of the film into the magazine aperture and draw the film into the
magazine.
9. Holding the take-up spool in the right hand, insert the end of the film into the slot in
the spool core. Wind the film around the core 2 or 3 times and place the spool on
the take-up spindle making sure it is pressed fully home and locked on the spindle
by the retaining device.
10. To tension the film, turn the knurled knobs on the feed spindle and the MM take-up
motor in the direction indicated by the arrows.
11. Replace the magazine and camera lids and lock them carefully in place.
12. Briefly depress the front button of the MST motor; if the knurled knobs turn, the film
has been loaded correctly.
NB. As the coils of a fully exposed spool can work loose during transport, it is
advisable to replace the spool in its original container immediately.
