Barnak(sp) turned the 35mm movie film sideways. I imagine the fact that the 
frame needed to be a whole number of spocket holes determined the width. That we 
still use this format seem very historical and English, like the yard being the 
distance to the Kings nose.

Kodak rationalized the 8mm movie film derived from split 16mm 8mm movie film, 
with smaller sprocket holes as super 8. I don't think anyone had the nerve to do 
this with 35mm camera film.
