successor process named SK91 and a 25 ASA film, which was sold in
Germany as Turachrome-2, Kranz Color C16, and as the mail-order films

Unichrome, as well as Gratispool (GB), Tower Color, Mirachrome,
Canachrome etc. (US), as described by the German photo historian Gert
Koshofer in his book about color photography (1981). In a permanence
