Hi Tom,
I always loaded it that way after the first couple of attempts at putting
the film cannister in it's end and dragging the film over. I thought this
can't be right and found it was easier to hook the film in the take up spool
first pull roll across and drop it in .

By now I must have loaded thousands of rolls in this fashion.
