[LargeFormat] Graflex 120 6x9 Roll Holder Loading Question

[LNPhoto]

It acts similar to a Hassy back. First set the counter to S.  This may 
take a couple of advancings, when the wind lever  stops, move the 
silver lever to the left and advance again. Once it gets to S the 
counter shouldn't advance anymore.  With a take up reel in the lever 
side, put the new film in so the film comes out between the reel and 
platen. Move the film around and thread it the same way on the take up 
reel. Advance the film until the arrows on the paper line up with the 
mark on the upper part of the holder (turn it upside down) close the 
back, manually move the counter one notch and advance till "1".  Shoot.
