[Frameworks] 8mm footage and developing for project in late July?

[Myron Ort]

"Standard 8mm variants
Various attempts were made to simplify use of standard 8mm film over the years, but none was especially successful. The Straight Eight format, using pre-prepared 8mm wide film, had some popularity in Europe, where Agfa <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agfa> manufactured their own stock. Kodak eventually introduced a magazine-loading system, but it was never as popular as spooled 8mm film and was discontinued by the early 1980s. Some manufacturers (e.g. Pentacon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentacon> in East Germany <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Germany>) made cameras with special magazines that could be pre-loaded with 8 mm spools. They were simply pulled out and flipped in mid-roll, avoiding re-threading the film.”

If double do you then flip over the cartridge to shoot the other side and the lab splits it after processing? The link here suggests that it is loaded with “double 8mm” but I recall cameras that did shoot single reg. 8mm. Not sure what the cartridges had but they appear to be too narrow to shoot double 8mm which is the same width, of course, as 16mm.
