I am in digest mode, so I do not know if anyone else has already answered this
one.

The very early Tru-Vues (red, white and blue boxes) were variable length. When
they finally got in the grove around 1935, they settled on a standard of 14
picture pairs which they followed until their last year when they reduced the
number to 10 pairs (trying to save money, but it was too late). Color films
started out as 14 pairs, then they too went to 10. Commercial titles were variable
with as few as 7 pairs and as much as 36 pairs.

The frames are 5 perfs wide as compared to Novelview who used 4 perf frames..

HTH, Tom Martin
