Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

You will not get along with the old Barnack Leicas then! To properly load and start they require a long tapered leader that you have to custom cut yourself. They sold templates to do this. Leitz remedied this somewhat in their new M3 camera in that they could use the short type of modern leader that every factory makes but the first ones still needed to have the leader fixed to the take up spool then both spools put in the camera. They finally solved it with a "Rapid Load" kit that could be purchased for your M3 and M2 that fixed the take up spool in the camera and allowed you to just feed the leader in until it caught and wound on as every modern camera functions. This later became how the cameras were shipped from the factory.bought it for one reason only: The 110 cartridge!
I had somehow developed an extreme and probably irrational dislike to fiddling around with those 'flaps' of the 35mm rolls [I've always been somewhat eccentric...]
Actually my very first camera was a Minolta 110 zoom and it was quite convenient for a young photographer like myself. That film was small so it would've been so fiddly to load by hand!
Beamed ol' Bones right out of the swanky swinger's club! No wonder he was so mad!
or all have messed up backs later....Stuff like that is one of the reasons why we were so fit back in the day!

So a "big hat, no cattle" car...
A busboy I worked with in the mid-'70's had a Ford equivalent - a Maverick that was visually tricked out. Big rear tires, red, white stripes, hood scoop... and a not-quite-thundering 6 cylinder under the hood.

Ah... reminds me of my (bone-stock) '75 Maverick. That six-in-line will forever be memorable for me as one day when it was parked out on the street in front of my apartment, I decided to change the aircleaner and somehow fumbled and dropped the wingnut bolt down the carb barrel. Car would not start after that! I had to climb into the engine compartment to remove the cylinder head and extract what was left of the bolt. Put it back together and it ran fine! I had bought it used from a dealer for $100 in about 1981 and ran it for five or six years, changing nothing but a set of tires (and a wingnut bolt!)
