The exlernal appearance of lhe 'Leica' camera is shown in Figs. t and 2. Turn down lhe upper narrow side of the camera and open lhe cameta lid n (Fig. t ) by lurning lhe lid swivel o (Figs.1 and 3) from 'closed' to 'open' as far as il will go and Iift the lid a little al this end. The lid pin p at lhe olher end rvill then easily unhook.

Then, with lhe coaled side inward, pass il lhrough the spring eLof lhe chamber spool (in lhe direclion of lhe arrow) and, letting il proiect '/r indr at most, double il over (Fig. 6).

These spools should be inlroduced inlo lhe film chamber (in subdued daylight) in lhe mannet described above (The empt-v chamber spool c3 is nalurally dispensed with in this case). While ihe two slils of the two shells are still in correspondence, the film chomber being accordingly open, delach lhe black paper strip and, together with the film end, pull it o-ulabout 11/einches. Then close ihe film chamber, as directed above and shown in Fig. 9, and complelely pull oul the black papet strip, resiraininq, aJfai as possible, lhe film. The black paper should be held close up lo lhe film chamber when il is being pulled out, as ofherwise il may lear off shorl and difficulty may be experienced in recovering lhe lorn edge still in lhe film ctramber. The film chamber may be iniroduced inlo lhe camera in subdued daylight. To beqin wilh, pull out from the chamber abouf 4 rnches of the tapered commencing end of fhe film and, with the coaled side out, clamp ii in the dire clion of lhe arrory g ml of lhe winding spool m (Fiq. l0), bul do nol i n l h e s p r i n-Note that the siraight edge of ihe film should be in wind il on. conlacl with the spool flange atladred lo lhe knurled knob. Otherwise lhe sprockels will noi regisler properlY ryith lhe perforaiions in the slrip and may damage ihe film, which in ils turn may cduse olher obslructions. The laper of four -inches should begin al the film chamber slil. The winding spool and the film ctrJmber togelher with the filr;i are lo be iniroduced iointly into lhe camera, tne film passing through lhe camera slit ra (Fig. 11). In fhe event of ihe film chamber, while being inserled, meeting wilh an obslruction before reaching ils posilion, give a slight lurn fo lhe reversing milled head d (Fig. 1), so ihal lhe chamber may slip into polition. The chamber fits lhe camera in one parlicular position only (see Figs. 4 and 5), and is not interctrangeablewilh the winding spool, which, moteovet' can be distinquished by its differenl form and nolably by it9 smaller knurled kn5b, so thal ihe lwo spools are not liable to be confused. thal lhe swivel o Vhen closing the camera (Fig. l2) nole 'open'' The peron lhe camera lid n should be set righl over lo forated proieclion on the cameta lid should be hooked over lhe lid should be shut down and the swivel o lid pin p. afier whictr the'closed', turning as far as il will go' locked'from 'open' lo This will cause lhe locking extension of lhe swivel to grip the inner shell pin e6and open lhe film chamber.

The focal plane shulter winds under cover by turning lhe advancing milled head .q (Fiq. 2) in lhe direclion of the arrow as far as it will go. At the same time lhe film advances by the width of a picture. The slit should be sef, while wound, with ihe aid of lhe speed bulton 6 (l'ig. 2). The laller has exposure numbers giving fraclions of a second (e. g. 20 - 1/eos€cold, Z for lime exposure). Pull lhe speed buflon up and then turn il unlil fhe required exposure numl,er is opposile to lhe speed arrow g, and allow lhe bulfon io spring back. Il is advisable lo accusto'm one's self to exposures of ,lzoIo 1/66secofld and lo regulale lhe intensily by means of fhe lens diaphragm. Shorl exposures, sudr ds r/zoo and 1/r,on second, are solely required for sporling pictures rn a good lighl, when nalurally the diaphragm should be opened to its full extenl. Time exposures should be made with a short wire release, which may be allached by a fixing clamp lo lhe camera above the shuller bullon i. \fhen the speed button b is sel ai Z, fhe focal plane shuller will remain open as long as ihe shulter butlon h or lhe wire release is being pressed down. A slandard screw socket is provided for using lhe camera on a sland The obieclive is a Leilz 'Elmar' Anasfigmat of a focal lenglh of 2 indres and a relative aperlure of F/5 5. Il is mounled in a lubular sockef, whidr can be easily wilhdrawn and locked by lurning lo lhe right. The diaphragm is operaled with ihe aid of lhe diaphragm lever s (Fiq. 1). The scale gives lhe relative aperlures of ihe obieclive.

When lhe enlire slrip has been exposed (which is indicaled by lhe advancing milled head g (Fig.2) refusing to move freely when an altempl is made lo lurn il) or when a parlly exposed strip is io be taken oul*), lhe film should be wound back from the winding spool m inlo the fitm chamber e (Figs. 4 and 5).
