Cool lesson Dan! ;-)  I bet you'll never forget that one, not to mention a
few others on the list learning what not to do using a battery operated
motor on the M.

Gee using a Tom A RapidWinder I've never encountered this shooting from
frame 1 to 38 with a couple of loaded M's in the bag. ;-) Sometimes manual
is best! ;-) Beats the heck out of 38 blank inside the bag frames. :-)

But then by the wildest of possibilities you probably could still use the
roll after re-winding rather than dumping it. Because in the bag surely the
exposure of the film would've been negligible if any.
