Contact me at the end of the sale for more information. Another common question, is this film a sound film or a silent film? In almost every case, items described as \"home movies\" are silent films. How do you tell the difference? Silent films have sprockets on both sides, and sound films only on one side. Some people want to know, \"how long is this film\"? Well that\'s an interesting question. Sound films run at 24 frames per second, but silent films were often shot at a slower rate, 18 frames per second. This means that while a 400\' reel of sound movies runs about 11 minutes long, a similar 400\' reel of silent movies will run 14.5 minutes or so if projected at the proper speed. Similarly, a 100\' reel of film will run three to four minutes.Finally, people ask about vinegar odor and/or the \"mothball\" smell. The mothball or camphor smell is actually nothing to worry about -- it\'s a residue left over from camphor oil which was recommended by Kodak to keep films supple. Back in the 20s and 30s Kodascope film cans actually had a paper filter built into them which could be saturated with a drop of camphor oil, and it seems to have worked effectively. I haven\'t heard the whole story but someone said its use was discontinued during WWII due to military use of camphor. Different situation if a film is emitting a vinegar odor, that indicates it is beginning to deteriorate. Films that have light vinegar odor are almost always projectable and can be telecined. Films with heavier levels of odor or full blown \"vinegar syndrome\" -- an extreme version of the problem -- may require care, treatment with chemicals or molecular sieves, or other handling or repair before transfer. In some extreme cases they may not be salvageable.
