Now that you mention it, I think you're right, Nick.  I wonder if anyone had two or
more cameras, so that one always had a camera when the "used" one was sent back for
processing and re-loading.

And, I wonder if you got back the same camera, or if they just sent back another one
which was just sitting there full of fresh film, waiting to be shipped?
