The paper does indeed have numbers. For one thing, not all 828 cameras
could make use of the frame indexing perforation, and had to be advanced
from one frame to the next manually, using the red window. Then, even if
the camera could index frames, it might not have had a frame counter, so
you needed the red window to see what frame number you were on.

Got it. I was figuring the paper backing had frame markings such as
120/220 film, hence the window on the camera back.

It lets the camera know that you have advanced the frame to the correct
"stop" to shoot a new frame. I believe it was an attempt to prevent
multiple exposures.

What exactly is the 'index' perforation and it's function?
