Abstract
The cartridge is a generally cylindrical enclosure with a light seal through which a film web is drawn. The cartridge is closed with two side plates, one of which is removable. A spindle is journaled in the side plate. Film wound on a core is mounted on the spindle. The assembly is placed in an adapter insert. The adapter incorporates a motion multiplication mechanism such as gearing to drive a detectable element to rotate multiple times for each rotation of the core. The detectable element is positioned opposite a magnetic/proximity detector or optical detector on the host machine.
