I need to know what a transporter is and what it does. Is it part of the motordrive or does it have to do with film advance?

This word is not familiar to me. Where did you see/hear it?

I'm at a loss too. Unless...unless you mean the toothed spindle that engages the holes in 35mm film.

Btw, what type of camera are you talking about?

Mike,

You can find a number of references to 'film transport mechanism' in various books/manuals.It can mean anything from a lever wind to a full motor drive.Your request could be due to a badly translated instruction book and the word transporter,a complete 'red herring'.

However I do wonder how you and others, who post these non-specific requests expect to get sensible answers.Having a scientific background I am used to dealing with facts,so am more than happy to spend time searching for answers to someone's problem,if I am presented with all the relevant details.What does annoy is having to spend time asking what the symptoms are or what the equipment is,before solving the problem.

Glenn.

He probably couldn't find his way back.
