The film pack adapter on vintage speed and crown graphics was approx. the size
of a cut film holder, and was inserted in the camera as if it were a cut film
holder. You pulled a paper sheet out after each exposure and the back cleverly
pulled the exposed sheet to the back of the stack. In the darkroom you had to
carefully peel off the edge of the
paper sheet after developing the sheet film.
