Winding
Torque Measurement
|
Following is a resolution that
the camera which we had overhauled was taken in
comparison with a camera before overhaul. We confirmed
the results that the winding torque of the camera
after overhaul is clearly smaller than the one
before overhaul. *There are differences depending
on the individual camera and the model.
※The position of winding levers in the
left and right pictures, are not exactly same,
because there is also a difference of smoothness
in the winding levers movement.

Conclusion
|
|
The above sample camera before overhaul
is in relatively good condition, so the winding
lever is not that heavy. This comparison found
that the torque of the overhauled camera is three
fourths compared to the one before overhaul.
*The torque defference depends on the condition
before overhaul.
