3 orders per week???  That's 156 rolls per year.  This is hardly
plausible, IMO.  It very much highlights the point I tried to
make some time back that a bulk order of 100 rolls of film for
stereo processing would serve as a wake-up call to them that there
is more stereo photo activity going on than they realize.  I am
fairly certain that the estimate of 3 rolls per week is a product
of the drop-in-the-bucket (or drop-in-the bathtub!) effect that
I wanted to counteract by assembling a large order to submit at
one time.
