Sad news.
Was too fast in my enthusiasm! The film in this device is MUCH broader
than the films from my Sputnik and Duplex (about 2 x as broad). The 2  6
x 6 images are positioned NOT in the length direction but perpendicular
onto that direction. What a pity! But it IS an interesting find, isn,t
it?
