When the locking mechanism on the baseplate is turned, it opens the Leica Cassette inside. Leica cassettes are film cassettes that were once sold by Leica. Many of us who bulk load film use them. They are VERY heavy duty and designed to be light tight when out of the camera, but to open inside the camera to allow the film to spool out without touching anything. No scratches! Cheers! kw >>(No, I don't know exactly WHEN Leica quit fitting the cassette lugs to the >>M6 -- there may well be early Solms ones which have these.
