ABSTRACT:
A camera comprises a back frame opening for exposing successive longitudinal sections of a filmstrip, a pair of parallel film rails located adjacent opposite sides of the back frame opening for supporting successive sections of the filmstrip flat over the back frame opening, a take-up chamber for taking up the filmstrip beginning with a leading film end, and respective rail extensions to the take-up chamber abutted end to end with the film rails to effect narrow discontinuities between the rail extensions and the film rails. According to the invention, the abutted ends of the film rails and the rail extensions are inclined relative to the direction of film travel along the film rails to similarly arrange the discontinuities in order to facilitate advance of the leading film end over the discontinuities. Since the discontinuities are inclined relative to the direction of film travel, rather than located perpendicular to the direction of film travel as in the prior art, it is less likely that the leading film end can be caught at the discontinuities during film travel.
