Just something that's been bothering my mind for several years:

We all know about the high risk of auto ignition with early celluloid 
films. Does anyone know if there is a certain risk with celluloid 
cylinders (blue / purple amberols, indestructibles, lamberts, liorets 
...)? So far, I have never heard of any incident with cylinders.

Referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_base the nitrate 
compound was the major problem. I am not really into chemistry and 
would be happy if anyone with further knowledge could post some 
statements about this as I would like to know it for sure.

Regards,
Norman
