A while ago Ron, said that the San Francisco Library, had gotten the PRE 1940 C.A.D.I. film, well they are now at the Desk of the Newspaper Library, so that you can use them. It has only taken about 3 years for them to get them. ;-), I know for I for one suggest that they order them, that long ago. If you are not in the San Francisco Area, and would like your library to have these rolls, you can tell them that they can be ordered from ProQuest. They will know what that means.
