That doesn't indicate a lack of antihalation, it shows how the felt fails
to stop the infrared from coming in. The banding is just where the film was
shined on through the slot. If it lacked antihalation you would get nice
halos around any bright object just like you do with HIE, which obviously
doesn't happen. This is the same pattern that occurs if the felt is damaged
on a reloadable cassette. This still indicates that Kodaks recommendation
for loading in the dark is a good one.
