Thanks for the correction, Bob. I actually did a bit of googling,
instead of just recalling from memory, and found that the Cellulose
acetate has an ignition temp of 800F and the Estar base 900F. I'm
assuming the cellulose nitrate ignited at much lower temperatures.
Cellulose nitrate was quite capable of spontaneous ignition.
I contact printed some old nitrate sheets for the local provincial archives
a few years ago.
I was never so glad to get a job done and out of the building in my life.
