the rewind crank should turn when advancing film, though you need
to take up slack first by cranking the rewind as soon as the baseplate
is back on.

i used to keep the crank handle out just so it was
clear it was spinning when advancing to "0".  

avoids the horror of the capturing your kid's 5th birthday
on a pressure plate instead of HP5.
