Emanuel:  That may explain what I was just looking at.  Andrew's link to 
the Apollo photographs sent me on a mission there to relive my days as a 
young space nut. Fantastic stuff.

In the Apollo 17 photos, part 2, I found a number of grainy black and white 
images taken in the Command Module on the way back to Earth.  They were 
*not* square, looked very much like vertical 35mm frames, and looked like 
very fast film from that era.

Those were the days.  Thanks for the memories, Andrew!  Roger, Houston, we 
copy. . .
