Eastman is credited with inventing it. I've also heard David Houston mentioned, 1881.... Trekphiler 19:15, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is called "Roll film." Then we get a long paragraph extolling the virtues of Houston, who invented a camera to use said film. That is, there's nothing here about how it works, or who invented it; and to say Houston invented a roll film camera constitutes weasel wording, in my humble opinion. The article on George Eastman says he invented it, so there's a contradiction here which needs sorting out, I would say. I will delete much of the Houston material as irrelevant unless I hear back from someone in a month or so. Theonemacduff (talk) 22:53, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
