of course, ron. in 1940s i claim that a photog in cincy,
sergeant marsh, was trying to grab bill mayfield's exclusive
8x10 film pack.i held my tongue and knowledge. sheet
film thickness for cirkuits. lordry, they have have a lot of wheaties to
keep their ownself breathing.when i got my high speed simon/wide (1964)
6x12 @10fps on 70mm i found some  german glass plates used for vertical
full figure ident. photos. he considered my request that they work silently
and without clatter plus 10fps.these 2-1/2x5" glass plates were returned
to simon, pieced together, with masking tape and a written comment from
hulcher, "works fine." oh, how i miss that man........

It would be wise to know the thickness of the film base.  I think of sheet
film as being too thick to work in cameras like the cirkut.
