01

Artifact Overview

This Graflex aerial camera magazine holds multiple sheets of film. Film sheets are loaded into the metal body of the magazine. After making an exposure a lever slides towards the leather bag; the film shifts into the attached bag and then up into the stack of film sheets. Safe from further exposure by light, the film remains here until processing.
