The
35mm clip seen to the right appears to be four vertical rows of sub-standard
film format - possibly 8mm - printed side-by-side on a strip of 35mm film.

in70mm.com's Department for Unknown Film Formats has received an
e-mail from Jim Slater, UK, asking for the help of in70mm.com readers:
Hi Thomas,
A fan of your site sent me this clip of a strange piece of film. Any
chance that some of your readers might be able to identify it? At first
I thought it might be something like a Kinetoscope film, perhaps, but it
doesn’t seem to be that. I wonder if it is just a compilation of narrow
gauge stuff, the sprocket holes are huge compared with the images. There
is always something new to learn!
Best
Jim
The clip seen to the right appears to be
four vertical rows of sub-standard film format - possibly 8mm - printed
side-by-side on a strip of 35mm film. in70mm.com's Large Format Research,
Department #106 is lost regarding sub-standard formats. We do not specialize
in low-octane 35mm, and so we hope that among in70mm.com's enthusiastic and
expert readership is a person who reads this announcement, and who can bring
forward some information, which will answer Jim's questions.
• Who invented it?
• When was it invented?
• What is the name of the format?
• Where and how was it shown?
You can write directly to the editor (above) or to
Jim
Slater.
It's interesting to note that an almost similar scaled-up system was devised
almost 50 years ago by Carl Zeiss (Germany), and presented as "Pik-A-Movie".
Eight rows on Super-8mm films printed on 70mm stock.

The original request for information came from
Daniel Aguirre Hansell earlier in
December, and he wrote:
Hello
Since you are the author of "All Shapes and
Sizes", maybe you can help me with identifying something in my film
collection. A while back I bought a 70mm film tin off eBay which
contained various clippings from many different formats. Among these was
this odd slug of nitrate film (at least I think it is nitrate,) and I
have no clue as to what is was supposed to be for. When contacting the
original seller, he had no recollection of where the tin came from. I
have attached a professional photograph I took of the film in question.
Upon closer inspection I found that it appeared to be copied from a
source (note the sprocket holes printing into the film on the left.
Regards
Daniel
I hope this a nothing but a simple
challenge for the readers of in70mm.com, and we look forward to hearing from
you.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
