James and Joe, you two are the reason I am posting this:
quote: Searching in this forum found this documentary was released by Blackhawk. But one post say 3 x 400' the other say 2 x 400'.
Now, the clue is I am getting it in 2 x 600'. They are both full.
Shorty might be right, if at the end of the reel, the previous owner spliced another film.
But I am not really ready to watch the whole reels, because I am thinking to sell. But now, it seems I have to do this.
But what about "Chapter One" and "Chapter Two" do they exist?
ps: this is the old thread that talking "Chapter - Two":

Barry Atwood says : the 2nd film is on 2x400' Super 8 Film Firsts - Chapter Two" , I ran a few minutes of reel one and it featured "Gertie the Dinosaur" , but does anyone out there have a rundown of what's on these 2 reels.
Or do you think there is "Chapter - One" for one reel and "Chapter - Two" for two reel, making this film to become 3 x 400'?

Mine is about 850' total (2X400'), this encompasses the earliest animation, comedy etc - Now, 2-600' full reels sounds like there might be an additional documentary on there, such as THE SAD CLOWNS, SLAPSTICK, or SENNETT'S FUN FACTORY - Win, if you want to sell, let me know, I'd be very much of a mind for it - Shorty
