rapid process copy film

Hi. I have landed few rolls of outdate Kodak rapid process copy film. This was initially intended to make slides of radiographs. Literature alongwith recommends exposure of 15-20 seconds @ f3.5 Any ideas /suggestions what else I could use it for? (not sure if its usable even!) thanks. -Sridhar

hi. my nephew has managed to autorewind the roll on his PS (not sure how) after exposing few frames. Is it possible to load and forward it (approximately) to avoid double exposure? Its a new 35-70 Vivitar with the regular features. thanks.
