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

[ev petrol]

Hey Myron,Pip's right - this camera takes the cartridge, looks like it's designed for maximum ease of use, you just flip it once you've shot the first halfcheers Moira

 These cartridges use double 8mm. Inside the cartridge is double perf 16mm film with twice as many perforations as usual. You shoot 25 feet on one side and then flip it over and shoot the second half on the same strip of film. After developing, the lab splits the 16mm film down the middle and joins the two ends to make 50 feet of regular 8mm.
Maybe you are thinking of Single-8mm which is a japanese format of regular 8mm in a cartridge.

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.
