What Is That Square-ish Thing on Back of Camera?
What is the square-ish thing on the back of some older cameras? It looks to me like it would hold a slip of paper or something. Just curious, thanks.

It holds the end of a film box so that you know what's in the camera. Newer cameras automatically set film speed, so the manufacturers did away with this feature.

In today's 35mm cameras there is a small transparent window on the back. Particulars of the loaded film printed on the film container are visible through this window.
