OT I want one!

This explains why the photo industry switched from 20 exp. rolls to 24 exp. rolls. You could wind this beast twice more to capture three different scenes on one roll, no wasted film.

 

Question for the real old timers: Does anyone know when the changeover was made from 18 exposure rolls to 20 exposure rolls?

And for the not so old, old timers; the change from 20 to 24 exposures.

I started photography in 1954 and films came in little metal cans of either 20 or 36 exp. Ilford FP3 was one of my favourites, developed in a Leitz Rondinax tank using their 2 bath developer. I later switched to Kodak Plus X developed in Kodak High Definition developer.

Together with a Weston 100 bulkloader I got some old cartridges.

 

One is red labled Kodak Technical Pan ASA 64 Packaged By FSC L.A., CA with 18 exposures, one purple labled Kodak Plus-X PX1-135 with 20 exp. and one red with yellow script (unreadable)SCOCHROME daylight type with 20 exp.

 

The seller said his grandfather used them form the early fifties to middle sixties.
