Superslides came from 127 film.  Rollei (and a few other companies) made 127
film TLRs; it was called the Baby Rollei (most, if I recall, had a grey
covering.)  Lens was a 60mm 2.8.

There was also a format called "Super Slides" which was I think about 40mm
square but in a 35mm size mount. I remember my dad  mounting them by hand
from Rollei transparencies.  I know that they vignette in my Leica
projector! See I got something on-topic in there.
 Cheers
