I've never used a RapidWinder with a "steering wheel" (or more commonly a "basket"). I just load the film, make sure that it is over the sproket holes (i.e., that they engage the film perforations), rewind the film so that the film is tight and flat, and then wide on one frame with the base off and back open (just to make sure that everything is OK) before putting the RapidWinder back on. I've never had a misload. M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
