Phil Dragoo Wrote:Perforated Number: The Zapruder 8mm film was identified during processing with a number 0183 perforated vertically within the 8mm width as a part of company practice for customer identification a control system to match the processing request or order to the film. The perforation would typically be located at the core of the returned 8mm reel, thus placing it following the scene exposed last the customer tails end of side two. Also note that as the laboratory receives the film, this location is at the outside end of the camera spool, immediately following the integral camera thread-up leader that will be removed prior to processing.
Selected Analysis JFK Photographic Evidence 15 -STUDY 1 - R.J. Zavada, Aug. 31, 1998

Maybe I'm missing something here Phil...
Isn't the evidence in Zavada's ARRB study here conclusively saying that the film called the "In Camera Original" has NONE OF THE MARKINGS that the in Camera Original SHOULD have...
and is only identified as ORIGINAL based on the "0183" print thru seen on the SS copies....
There is nothing in Zavada's study that supports this "original" as being the original...
I've tried to tie the math together again...
Zavada states that the edge printing is 10.5 inches apart on the film...
I went thru the Zframes and found the following: suggests to me that the altered film was copied onto this roll of film so the IS area works and the spacing of the edge print works.
18 frames / 24 - 42: edge print
48 frames / 43 - 91: blank
17 frames / 92 - 109: edge print
46 frames / 110 - 156: blank
17 frames / 157 - 174: edge print
48 frames / 175 - 223: blank
17 frames / 224 - 241: edge print
45 frames / 242 - 287: blank
17 frames / 288 - 305: edge print
48 frames / 306 - 354: blank
18 frames / 355 - 373: edge print
45 frames / 374 - 419: blank
17 frames / 420 - 437: edge print
48 frames / 438 - 486: to end without edge print
This suggests that 10.5 inches = 48 frames = .21875 inches per frame
486 - 133 = 353 frames of the assassination = 6'3"
6'3" / .21875 inches per frame = 343 frames
there is also 2'7" of BLANK FILM... equates to 86-87 frames at .21875" per frame.
plus 25'1" of SPLICED IN BLANK FILM... which equates to 1,376 frames.
How can there be an explanation for the ORIGINAL, not to have the 0183 on it as well as NOT HAVING the processing edge print on the MOTORCADE SIDE yet it appears on the Home Movie side...
and then there's the elusive 0184....

(EDIT - instead of using estimates of 48 frames = 10.5 inches, I went to find the actual dimensions of each frame... there is also a slight line between each frame that will add up as well...
I adjust this measurement in my next post - sorry for the assumption rather than the source info))
