It looks like the cardboard is for avoiding light from coming in through the knob, isn’t it?ï»¿

Actually, the cardboard is for holding the take-up spool in position. The knob itself is light-tight.ï»¿ The centering pin in the knob no longer functions to center the spool, but rather to release the film advance locking lever. Thus, the need for the additional support.

The pressure plate on the Rolleiflex has to be adjusted to 1 of 3 positions: 25 x 36 mm (Rolleikin), or 6ï»¿ x 6 cm (120 film) with optional glass plate installed, or 6 x 6 cm without the optional glass plate installed.
