Holy Haggis!

I have even better Scottish genes.

Get the 7x6 pages from Century Plastics.  Load your cassettes with 40 or 42
frames.  Run from one page to the next.

BTW: I managed to load a 50-frame roll of TMX and still had the bugger fit on a
plastic reel.

And the Hexar/Hexar RF are even more Scotch, tho' Japanese:

They cut about a wee bit off of the frame spacing to give you 39 frames per 36
roll.
