Abstract
A photographic camera is adapted to receive a film container which supports a filmstrip having a normally curled leader extending from the film container. As the film container is loaded in the camera, means on the camera deflects successive longitudinal edge portions of the curled leader into a substantially straight line, incrementally uncurling the film leader, and guides the uncurled leader, straightened edge portions first, into a film passageway in the camera.
