  23. For this particular camera might it be possible to simply trim off a few
  24. sprocket holes off the leader on the "longer" side of the tongue to fool the
  25. sensor into stopping the rewinding process while a bit of film still is poking
  26. out of the casette?  I do not have one of these cameras to test out how much of
  27. the edge would have to be trimmed off or even if the scheme would work.
