Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I would have certainly aligned the arrows
correctly. I should emphasise too that out of the 3 rolls that I shot 2 were
fine. Will obviously be trying a few more rolls (taking care to crank to
the click) but I think my question may well have been better phrased by
asking is the procedure for next frame advance 'idiot proof' - assuming what
I have described is normal behaviour then it is not. And thats fair enough!

I am not sure of the winding and metering arrangement in the FX. In a Rolleicord or Standard Rolleiflex the start position is determined either by the arrows or by a red window where the numeral 1 is set. The metering is done by a lever with a toothed wheel on it
>> which bears on one end of the take up spool. <<

(For clarification)
