From: Patent Tactics, George Brock-Nannestad
Jack Honeycutt asked about a good forum for real film strips. I could suggest
AMIA, which is more directed to professional archivists, but it is my
experience that in collecting audiovisual items it is frequently the amateurs
who are the professionals. They can afford the time to dig deeply into the
material ................
On 9 mm films: they are French Pathé narrow gauge films sometimes called
Pathé Baby. They were quite popular with amateurs, also in the UK, and their
characteristic was that they only had one sprocket hole per image, right in
the middle of the film between images. The equipment ranged from very fine to
tinplate, but it all worked very well. To those who used it it was not odd at
all.
Kind regards,
George
