This allows the leader to seat properly in the spool. Never had a problem with this. I don't worry about the sprockets as the folded leader doesn't slip out of the take up spool. Makes life difficult if you want to use a film leader extractor though. Charlie Chan Cheltenham, UK - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
