In the beginnings, when the first 35's hit the marketplace, it would have 
been a quite logical design to manually wind the film into a chamber or 
extra cassette and the advance one picture at a time into the original 
cassette.  No harder than manually rewinding at the end of the roll and much 
safer.  I am sure every 35 mm photographer has experienced the dreaded 
oops...

manually advance 36 frames and then have a way of manually moving the film
in the opposite direction, or have an electrical wind on.
