What's a Polavision Cartridge?
From Wikipedia: "Polavision was an instant movie camera system launched by Polaroid in 1977. The Polavision cartridge was a small rectangular box with the film reels self-contained, along with a small lens and prism for projection at an open gate. Exclusively viewed in a Polavision viewer. The film format was similar to the Super 8mm format."
