ABSTRACT:
The camera preferably has a slotted take-up spool which when the film compartment covering door is opened is automatically rotated into an ideal position where a hook in a film-capturing slot thereof has an outward facing orientation ideal for capturing a film leader perforation when the film leader is inserted therein. The slot is preferably configured as a lengthwise passage leading into a hollow axially disposed chamber within the take-up spool, the trailing edge of the slot nearest the imaging station being provided with the hook. This edge is positioned so that it does not come into confronting engagement with the film during initial advance thereof until the film is firmly captively secured over the hook.
