This "WEIMET Green Seal High Speed Panchromatic Film" box has its full complement of 6 rolls of film. It is quite unique in several ways. For instance the films are wrapped in yellow paper instead of the usual foil/paper wrapping. The spool is also of a little different design and the printing on the box states "With this new improved spool we do not recommend the use of extra film holders or gadgets". So they did not feel that their film would work well with the little tin spool holders found in some of the HIT type cameras. They also advise closing the red window after every exposure, possibly due to the HIGH SPEED emulsion which would be more sensitive to light. Another oddity is the film developer shipping address on the long strip of paper sealing the film. Then there is the scaled up size of the box itself, probably necessitated by the heavier wraps on the spools, that boost the box size to 15X29X77mm. Most unique of all is the fact that this film is not made in JAPAN as are virtually all of the others, but in the USA by Weimet Film Company, Inc. of New York.  R Ogden - Chapman USA
