Well I told you so, but nobody would believe me. The Polaroid Plant in Norwood,

Mass that produced Type 55 film, is now closed. The plant has layed off all the

key people who could run and maintain the line. The equipment may be bought by a

paint company to run some stuff for them. Better start looking for another

source for the film.

For all you non believers, today it was announced on the radio in Boston that

the Polaroid plant that made the Type 55 film was closing at the end of the

year. 120 employees being let go right now and another 50 by the end of the year.

I told you all recently, but nobody wanted to believe it was true.

Better start stocking up on the film.

Not only was it made official on the radio, but I have a source in the plant

that was told they were out at the end of the year.

I am wondering what everyone thinks about the terminal manufacture of Polaroid

Type-55 black & white film at the end of this year. I'd be interested in what

direction others are planning as a replacement film. I heard they were stopping

manufacturing of the film by the end of the year.

Thanks

Paul
