Hi Bill,

The wind knob has a ring around it which indicated the number of exposures.
It also bears a red "R"-mark. Yu have to turn the disc and put it in the "R"
zone  to let the gears inside moove freely and rewind.

You'll have to "machine" an adaptor yourself. I made one from a common
"HAMA" adaptor. I explained how I did this a while ago. If youre interested
how let me know.
Best Regards.
