Prior to World War II, 35mm film was marketed in 'loads' for fitment
to a proprietary cassette made by the camera manufacturer. The
purchaser would unwrap the load in the dark, load the cassette, and
then shoot the film in his camera. This was long before the era of
100-foot bulk rolls and Watson loaders.
Around 1935, Kodak pioneered the universal cassette in which
miniature-format (35mm) film has been marketed ever since, even unto
our own day.
