But a writer!:) The users are the cool guys, never mind the writers.:) Drag out the leader in the direction of the take-up spool, drop that roll into place with the film leader inside the three prongs, put the base plate on, or in your case Tom A's Rapidwinder, lock inplace, lift re-wind lever and turn as though re-winding until you feel tension. Stop. Then shoot & advance and shoot a couple of frames while watching the rewind knob turn round and round! Then you're ready to rock and roll! Or if you like, "shoot and advance!" Try not to think about it.....in photography the more you think about what you are supposed to do, the more times you'll screw-up.:) This is a feeling thing.:) it's like they say, "JUST DO IT!" it works, ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
