1957 Agilux Agifold, Fourth Series. (4)

            Did I mention over- engineered?   Here is a not very sharp pic of the spool loading device, and you can see that although beautifully made and finished, it is rather complex to use. 

A tab at either the top or bottom of the film chamber is lifted, which allows the carrier to pivot through the curved groove, which can then be pulled outwards to allow the spool to be inserted or removed, Pushing back secures the spool, and the carrier can then pivot downwards into position.  Whew!!

The supply side opens upwards and the take up side opens downwards, but I don't think there is a functional reason for this, more manufacturing - it allowed identical components to be used, rather than two "mirror images", which would have involved double the press tooling!
