Step 2: The Take-up Side
The following procedures may be carried out in the light.
• Flip the magazine over so that the take-up door is
uppermost and the top of the magazine is facing you.
The ARRI on the door will be upside down.
• Open the take-up side magazine door and latch back
the lay-on roller arm. Fit an empty film core to the
take-up core holder making sure that the core holder
key is engaged in the key slot of the film core.
• The film head should be protruding from the transfer

. Check that it is cut squarely through a
perforation.
• Thread the film head around the forward guide roller
as indicated inside the magazine. Without touching the
film core, push the film head into the upper sprocket roller
until its teeth engage in the film perforations

• Once the sprocket teeth have engaged in the film
perforations, turn the film core until the film head
emerges from the magazine throat.
• Set the loop length by pulling the film head away from
you and align it with the loop mark on the bottom of
the magazine

. Adjust the loop length by
turning the take-up film core.
• Now take your hand off the film core – there is enough
inertia in the sprockets to maintain the loop length.
