... thread the leading edge of the film through the felt light trap....
I load bulk by holding the bulk roll between my legs in closet in darkness and just twist the takeup spool to load a suitable amount of frames, then cut off the film, insert the roll in casette. Then just start a new one until about 20 rolls are in cassettes. This will take about 10 minutes, just enough oxygen left in the closet...
That's worth knowing if my Watson ever breaks. I've seen that model in pictures and ads, but never used it. How do you determine how much film you're loading if there's no counter? I sometimes load short runs of a dozen frames or so as well as the more regular thirty-six.
Isn't it funny how the bleeding obvious is only obvious after somebody else has pointed it out to you?On the Lloyd there´s a list outside of the loader to see how many turns you need to wind the crank
I don´t exactly know what you mean by that? Was this post unnecessary?
You get about 18 36 exposure loads. Shorter loads use the same amount of film for leader and trailer. Longer loads risk jamming the camera or over loading the the developing reel.
But if I do 10 exposure loads I sholu get more than 18? Now, I´m not going to do 10 of all the bulk film, bur some test loads to learn to develop.

Now I understand!It is less expensive to load 18 36exp., than it is to do 10exp. rolls? am I correct?
