Re: Kodak 8" CIRKUT FILM

["Robert J. Lang or Hope Conley Lang" <bobhope@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andy,

	I split number 10 film for my # 5 Cirkut camera.  I wind the film a little
tighter than it comes from Kodak and then saw it in half, including the
spool, using a miter box and back saw.  I made a little U-shaped channel to
let the film rest on with the spool flanges hanging over the edge.  You
lose the kerf of the blade and expose maybe an eigth of an inch of the edge
of the film.  Give it a try.  I learned this method from other guys in the
IAPP, maybe Ron Klein or Bob Erickson or Dick Fowler.

	Bob
