Bantam/828_film Format correction

[michaelk@xxxxxxxxxxx (Michael Kersenbrock)]

Although still only "stereo" by a forced relationship, I thought I'd at
least correct and clarify statements I made yesterday.  Although I've
read that 828 film has a single row of sprocket holes, looking at my
Bantam it doesn't seem possible (I have no 828 film to look at) unless
they are narrow and *really* near the edge.

828 film appears to be 35mm film with no sprocket holes at all (but with
a paper backing).  A quick measurement shows the bantam format to be approx.
28mm by 40mm.  Was a "real" stereo camera ever made using this film?

As to using it for stereo photography, they *are* physically small but
it does weight 12oz which isn't *that* light.  Two of them linked together
would look *really* kew'wl though.  The reason I bought it ($4 or so) was 
due to it's looking "cute".  Teeny-tiny bellows, etc.  Dual would be
even cuter.  :-)
