original material 8 mm, silent movie
Kodak introduced 8mm film in 1932.
16 Mm was given twice the number of perforations. First one half of the film was exposed. There after the reel was turned and the other half was shot. After processing the film was slit in the middle and the two 8mm halfs spliced together. In this manner as many frames were available on the 25ft small reel as on 100 ft 16mm film.
Because changing reels in the middle proved to be cumbersome a number of manufacturers introduced straight 8mm wound on 50 ft reels (Univex, Bell & Howell), or in cassettes (Agfa). Because of the lack of uniformity resulting in limited availability straight 8mm did not catch on.
This film was transfered by? SuperSens, Amsterdam.
Wat een mooie oude film!
