how does a camera have

6x10 Operation and 11X10 Threading...

If threading is tape record time wouldnt operations include the threading hours?/

Thanks

On most units, threading actually refers to the number of unthreading operations, not hours... in other words, how many times was a tape ejected (does it unthread when it comes to a full stop? Not sure).

So in your example, I think that means 60+ hours of operation and 110+ tapes.

I think.
