There is your problem. Jam the leader into the needles, wind the film one
time to get the top sprocket engaged, then pull cassette across the camera
and push it into the well. It keeps tension on the film, keeping it engaged
on the sprockets. If you do it right you don't have to fiddle. I admit it

Sounds slow. I did it like that for years. Now I have learned to push the
end of the film in the fingers, crank it until the top sprocket catchs a
couple of holes, insert the cassette in the chamber, close the back, and
