On my first roll thru my Spotmatic, in the late 60's, I suspected something amiss when I kept advancing the film way beyond 36. I had not verified the film was locked well onto the take up reel. Glad it happened, taught me to always check the take up, and I never did that again in hundreds of rolls of film that I've shot over the years.
