: OK older whippersnappers.  Wasn't there a Scheiner [sp?] rating system at
: one time before DIN and ASA were invented?

Jawohl. I have an old book published by the Belgium firm Gevaert (now part
of AGFA-Gevaert) that describes these so-called sensitometric methods; there
were also the Weston scale and the BSI (log) scale. For the young
whippersnappers, BSI is not a variant of BSE (mad cow desease) but it stands
for British Standards Institution.
