In Praise Of Polaroid P/N 55

Rumour has it that the emulsion commissioned by Edwin Land was Kodak Panatomic, nominally 32 ISO with a delightful 1940s/1950s tonality. Extremely fine-grained. I would rate and shoot for a negative and process back in the darkrooom where I'd clear the film of the gunk and minimise the risk of garbage settling on the wet emulsion, using the Polaroid bucket. I'm hoping something similar appears again with constancy of supply given my new impediments.
