For detailed explanation of the history of different colour processes I would recommend the book How Films Were Made and Shown by David Cleveland and Brian Pritchard. The most famous Kinemacolour film was The Delhi Durban of 1911. William Freise Green used a similar system but for projection dyed the alternate frames of film. His Son Claude improved the system in the 1920s and made a series of travel films called The Open Road using the Process.Incidentally Alan Lott who was a 9.5 Columnist in Amateur Cine World also wrote a book How to Use 9.5 which mentions using the process on 9.5 mm film. Group 9.5 member, the late John Cunningham, a skilled engineer adapted a camera and his converted Elf projector and exhibited the results at a Group 9.5 meeting. He also made a dvd of it. I have copies of this but it is hard to watch because of the film was projected at 32fps so flickers rather badly. I do not know who did the original transfer

I believe we had some 16mm footage shot and projected colour sequential at the first Blackpool event after Derann closed. As with other systems it also showed how much light was lost by the system.
Of course all early Technicolor cartoons were shot throught colour filters colour sequential and the prints were made by imbibition printing. The cells didn't move so no colour fringes threre.
