Hello all.

There was a bunch of messages a while back about 5 inch rollfilm.  The
camera I'm working on will use it and I've purchased something really
unusual and cool.  It's a Graflex "53" rollfilm back which uses 5 inch
film on long spools for 6 4x5 exposures per roll.  It looks very old
(20's?), uses red window framing, and looks pretty simple in
construction.  I'd like to take some pictures and make them avqailable
for anyone interested.  I plan to use aerial film, so I'll have to block
off the red window and count turns.  UNLESS, someone knows where paper
suitable for rollfilm backing can be obtained.  It would have to be
thin, opaque, at least 5 inches wide, and not black on one side so we
can see the numbering.  Any ideas?
