  The OB was the old standard Kodak filter for graded paper. 
The OC has more a more limited spectrum. It is suitable for 
any paper which is "safe" with the OB filter but the OB 
filter should not be used for papers specifying an OC filter 
such as modern variable contrast filters.
  I think Kodagraph was a document copying paper, Dave Valvo 
will know.
