For loading any M version, you either clip the end of the film into the free spool under the advance lever (M2 or M3) or press the film into the slit of that spool (M4 to M6-0.85). The only difference: In M2 and M3, you can take the spools out of the camera (and loose them :); in M4 to M6-0.85, the spools are attached or fixed to the bodies . Transport the film with open back of the camera, till the film corresponds to both sprocket holes. That's it.
