Re: [photo-3d] Mounting Viewmaster reels

Eddie,
Thanks for this _WONDERFUL_ link!!!  I now have a great, readable manual
for my Viewmaster Personal.  This is absolutely excellent!

For Mike Levy, pg 15 of the VM manual shows the shape of the chips and I
think, when printed, this is the actual size.  I'd  have to check some
of my chips at home.  However, it does show the inside edge taper I was
talking about as well as the "spare" film piece on the outside edge.

What's really great is that it shows how to tell if your camera is
currently loaded or not.  There's no take up reel to back-wind to check
for tension so this knowledge is really helpful!

Thanks again to everyone who made posting this information possible!
Ron
