ABSTRACT:
A camera is adapted to receive a filmstrip having a leader portion narrower than the remainder of the filmstrip. A rotary take-up spool in the camera includes a plurality of engaging members for engaging the leader to wind the filmstrip onto the spool. At least one of the engaging members is disposed at a location on the spool to engage a leader properly positioned in relation to the spool, to provide proper winding of the filmstrip onto the spool. The other engaging members are disposed at respective locations on the spool to engage the leader in various improper positions the leader may be located, which prevent proper winding of the filmstrip onto the spool. Each of the other engaging members is supported for movement in engagement with a leader in an improper position to situate the leader in the proper position. A cam, disposed proximate the spool to abut the wider remainder of a filmstrip with a leader engaged by one of the other engaging members, causes the engaged leader and member to move to situate the leader in the proper position, whereby the filmstrip can be properly wound onto the spool.
