Hi George

I take a similar approach to Eric Goldstein on this.

 I take shot #1.
 Rewind the film until the counter decrements (but no further).
 Start to wind forward - the transport will halt on the frame you just shot.
 Cock the shutter.
 Shoot shot #2.
 Repeat as required.

This does not give accurate registration of the film, so may be unsuitable
for some double exposures where image alignment is important.

I friend here who has been using his Belplasca since new told me that to do
double exposures without moving the film (as described above) that you
"need to drill a hole here". This solution was unacceptable to me, so I did
not pay much attention to exactly where one drills a hole. However I think
it was at the front, in the silver cover that is at the top of the camera
(how could someone drill a hole in that!)

Regards, Steve
