 rvith a thin rcd instead of the familiar  thick
 rcd and black  (duplex)  paper.  The  thin  red
 paper is rrot light proof  in  itself.  Betrveen  it
 and tbe film  is inserted a strip of tissue.  This
 tissuc serves two purposcs:  To supplemcnt
 the red paper in  light  proofing  the  cartridge,

writing upon the film.
