B&W film under safelight

Someone posited a question to this a couple of weeks ago.

I was @ a local retail who is closing out a bunch of outdated film.
In the box is some Kodak Precision Line Film. 135 bulk.
It states on the box that it is to be used under a (specified) safelight.

Should I get it? Smile

Anyone interested?

It is probably orthochromatic, which means it is sensitive to the blue-green
end of the spectrum, not the red end. If so, it can be handled under a 1A
(light red) safelight filter without fogging it.

Same rule applies to Kodak Contrast Process Ortho, and Kodak Kodalith film.
