It consists of a spool with a large slot which accepts the film leader, and a "spacer" which mounts to the basplate and guides and holds the leader into and in the slot. Like many of the more uncommon items from Leitz, it works well enough after a bit of acclimation or practice. This item is decidedly not a kit to modify the body by installing an M4 take-up spool.
