[Tig] uneven 5242 stock for ARRILaser magazine

[Nichols Craig]

Isn't last section of Kodak kk test film descending? If all 4 fwd perf orientations work with a well set up reader, the last descending section should also work..

the traditional solution to that is flopping the film and refocusing  
to account for the image plane difference.

the foot/half-foot codes will be read (as far as I remember), but does  
the reader only ascend- so the frame count in between will be wrong?   
that's was my presumption, but it's been a while since I tried to read  
descending code on current systems.
