    That would most likely be Kodachrome.
    Simply "Kodachrome", it needed no "II", "X", "25" or "64" after its
name because, before 1961, there was only one Kodachrome, and it
dominated the color film market.  It had a film speed of 8 Weston,
equivalent to ISO 10 (!).
    Keep in mind, if a Stere-All has no shutter speed dial (I'm not that
familiar with it), you may have to use Kodachrome 25 because a faster
film could render the camera useless in sunlight!  Same thing will
happen if you put ISO 400 slide film in a Realist 3.5.
