>From Wiki:
In 1963, Kodak introduced a new film, encased in a plastic cartridge, for
which they re-introduced the "126" designation. (The number was originally
used for the unrelated 126 roll film format from 1906 to 1949). The term
"126" was intended to show that images were 26mm square, using Kodak's
common 1xx film numbering system. However the image size is actually 28 × 28
mm, but usually reduced to approximately 26.5 × 26.5 mm by masking during
printing or mounting.

thus its format is actually wider than 24mm "35mm film" format, its just not
as long (36mm).
