My father has a pathescope automatic film loading 8mm projector but doesn’t know how to load the films on. Does anyone know where I can get an instruction manual? Thanks

Don’t know that projector, but obviously the full reel goes to the „1“, then the film gets fiddled through the channel, then around the wheel in the lower right, then around the wheel in the lower left and finally onto the empty reel „2“.
It looks like the projector has got a moveable part on each of the two axis for the reels. They have to point toward you when mounting the reels. When projecting, they have to be put back by 90°. (Sorry, I‘m lacking the proper English terms here.)
To move the film through the channel, there’s usually either a central knob that opens the complete channel a little bit to allow easier insertion. Or the channel segments can be moved individually. Not sure what’s used here.
