The opening arrangement of the camera to load the film is quite unusual, a recessed button under the leather covering is pressed, this allows the lower part of the body to be pulled out, the film-advance knob is then pulled up and the back separates from the rest of the camera. From 1923 the opening arrangement was changed as were the Bakelite side panels.
