Leader-retracting film magazine and method for enclosing film

摘要

A film magazine is disclosed which comprises a light-tight casing and a spool rotatable therein. A leader has one end attached to the spool and extends outside the casing for splicing to light-sensitive film. The splice is retracted into the casing during spooling operations, and means are provided to prevent the splice between the film and the leader from being pulled from the magazine.
