There are a few pages dedicated to this topic in the
Kodak publication, THE BOOK OF FILM CARE. It's not,
like, step by step instructions but it's interesting
to think of those cotton lint fibers and wood pulp
reduced to liquid (called "dope") and poured "through
a ery narrow slit onto uge highlly polished wheels."
(This is pre-Estar base. Are you thinking of making
Estar?)
The book also has a section, "What if Film Had not
Been Invented?"
Really. Where would we be?
