The article is a good overview, but as I scrolled down the page a certain explanatory graphic got my attention.
Each 35mm camera roll is actually 1,000 feet in length, not 2,000 feet. (A typical film load allows for about 10 minutes of 'capture' time.) The author of that description was thinking of 'printing rolls'.
Movie theatres would receive a feature film in cases of 2,000 film reels. The film lab's interpositives (IPs), internegatives (INs), and projection prints are/were 2,000 rolls.
My many years of loading motion picture camera magazines has never left me... I can still smell that "raw stock".

You should fix that, it's kind of the whole point of Wiki.
My first draft had a "Postscript"....
"When I get a few moments I'll get a Wikipedia account and correct that error."
Yes! Exactly!
I intended to say that in a comment; there was a power failure in my neighbourhood, just came back on a few minutes ago.
Yeah, you recommended that a few years ago when I spoke of certain errors on Wiki.
