If you have an Automat, the arrows has nothing to do
regarding to advance the film till the number one, if
the lower film feeler mechanism works fine, when the
initial film tape passes through the two rollers, one
of them moves a pawn linked to a leverage that
changing its position finally engages the film counter
till the number one, afterwards starts to work other
film feeler mechanism placed behind the upper film
spool chamber( an axis with eccentric movement) that
measures the upper film spool thickness. It seems that
your camera has a problem when the film transport
needs to change from the lower film feeler to the
upper film feeler mechanism, perhaps a bad gear or a
gear or leverage that needs adjustment.-
All the best
