Film Can Emulsion Nº

[José Burgos Sologuren]

Hello Everybody!

I´d like some help on figuring out a doubt I have regarding on the negative can label. 

So Kodak's 35mm or 16mm label info refers to: Film Code, Emulsion nº, roll nº, part nº, strip nº and unit nº

I was shooting with 4 different emulsion, 2 cans for each. I'm not understanding why just the last number is different. Isn't the strip number should be different too? In this case I understand each emulsion comes from the same batch - roll - part. For example the 50D shouldn't be: 093 015.04 41.1 / 42.2 ?

Here some pics of the cans

Thanks!

From an emulsion batch several master rolls can be coated. These rolls get cut into parts, two, three or four of shorter lengths than a master roll. Then a part is cut into strips which still measure up to 6000, 4000 or 2000 feet. Finally, after perforation, units are cut of useful lengths that fit camera magazines or spools.

Thanks so much for your answer! Is clear now.
