I don't remember the silver bubble having a huge effect on film stocks
other than the prices... but I do remember that Kodabromide, a wonderful
printing paper with a lovely grey scale and deep blacks, along with shadow
detail that you could fall into... dropped off the Kodak catalogue because
it was apparently too expensive to make.  Medalist was "modified" to make
it a much crappier paper.  The name "Kodabromide" came back a few years
later for a lousy paper with much less silver in it.
