The 24mm x 32mm "Nikon" frame format was initially adopted for these reasons:
1 The 3:4 proportion seemed to have better proportions than the "Leica" format
24x36mm (2:3).
2 It could take 40 frames and was more economical than the "Leica" format of 36
frames.
3 The standard of the slide projector provided by the Japanese Ministry of
Education was 24 x 32 mm.
This frame format was abandoned about 1949 when the USA market started to be
significant for the Nikon cameras, the picture size of the "Nikon" format (24 x
32 mm) did not correspond to the automatic color slide cutting machines that
were used in the U.S.A.;those machines operated with the Leica format (24 x 36
mm), the pictures would be incorrectly cut.
