ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for loading photographic film. In the method, a curling guide is introduced into a supply chamber of a film holder. An inner roller is introduced into the supply chamber. The inner roller defines an inner roller axis and a film gap overlying the inner roller. An outer roller is disposed over the inner roller adjoining the film gap. A leading portion of a filmstrip is advanced through the film gap. The leading portion is curled around the inner roller and back to the film gap to define an initial filmstrip scroll. The initial scroll has an axis offset from the inner roller axis. The curling guide is retracted after the curling step. The main portion of said filmstrip is propelled through the film gap to wind the main portion of the filmstrip over the initial scroll. The rollers are removed. The film holder is light-tightly closed.
