Didn't all *new* emulsions require AR-5, with EA-5 being the old E-4 
equivalent?
And with E-6 being a non-scientific/-technical *alternative* for the
upcoming EIR in 135-36? And *only* for that one?
Not sure if I got it straight now, but with AR-5 compatible
emulsions already available in the aero department (assumingly 70mm
and larger), does this make the upcoming EIR-135-36 a *different*
emulsion than the recently introduced aero versions? (a normal one
and one for aerial use above 15,000ft, presumingly less blue
sensitive(?)).

Even *if* I have all this straight (probably not), then they sure did 
create some confusing emulsions....8-))
Now you know why aerial films are separated from the rest....we are 
not supposed to know all this....;-))
