Kodak had a real problem at one stage with jittery
carts apparently. Sometimes it would be accompanied by
the blue streaks etc as well. So perhaps if you were
shooting the jittery film batches at the time you were
using switzerland then perhaps it was the bad carts
rather than the processing that was causing your
problems.
I think Kodak arranged to have new dies made for the
cartridges or something in the end, but whatever they
did, the jittery cartridges went away. :)
