don and david, the film formats are roughly sequential.  if multiple
formats were introduced in a single year, the larger image size tends
to get the higher number.  rollfilm formats begin with '1', the
exceptions being 620, 616, 220 and 828 (i'm not aware of any others).
kodak justified the 620 and 616 formats by claiming they would allow
for less bulky cameras, but only really ever made one camera to back
that up:  the Special 620.  the monitors, vigilants, seniors,
tourists, etc. were all rather bulky compared to their 120 film
competitors, such as the voigtlanders.
