Herb, several manufacturers have either no code, or use the same notching for all their films. And then there are the rebranded films, which are notched according to whatever the machinery was set to do at the factory that cut the master rolls, which is *not* the one that coated and rolled them (generally). The only thing you can be really sure of is that if the notch is at the right end of the upper edge of the film, the emulsion is facing you...
If a contact print at arm's length is too small to see, you need a bigger camera. :D
Ah, expose it at 200, process B&W and see what happens!

I have to admit something... and I don't feel particularily smart doing so (not the first, won't be the last time I am sure). In my fumbly first time film loading exercise, I missed the two little nothces to the right of the big one...
What can I say - it was dark in there, people!
According to what I have read in the kindly provided references, I have two sheets of Ektachrome 100...
Mystery solved, I am sure the film is old as time, but I may shoot it off just to see what happens - I am still at that stage with LF that every little mundane process, every routine operation is still a learning experience, so I figure I might as well.
Thanks again for all the input and info, and sorry about sending the kind folks here on a wild goose chase caused by my own ignorance.
Peter.
