I think you're all off on your math. If it doubles every second frame
of 8mm 18fps, that will produce 27 frames of 16mm. 24 of those frames
will be projected in one second, leaving 3 frames. 3/24 = 1/8, or 1/8
of a second extra. So, 8 seconds becomes 9 seconds, 8 minutes becomes 9
minutes, etc. You would multiply the 8mm 18fps time by 1.125 to get the
projection time of the 16mm print.
