[photo-3d] FED PROBLEMS

[pennywise@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi'
I use and sell Fed Stereo Camera's and this problem has cropped 
up on occassion.
Make sure that when you insert the film into the takeup spool, you 
insert it the correct way.
The arrow on the takeup spool is very deceptive and many people 
assume that the film is to be inserted into the lip that the arrow is 
pointing to.
This could not be further away from reality if it tried.
I am sure that it is the old Soviet Union trying hard to confuse us.
The film should, in fact, be pushed into the other lip which helps 
the film to go smoothly round the takeup spool without and kinks.
Any kinks will cause the whole mechanism to "snarl up" and feel 
as if you are dragging a team of horses across a ploughed field.
Normally it is a smooth wind-on.
