Do 24mm x 8.5mm still cameras exist?

After reading this excellent article on the shooting of a film using a 2-perf 35mm film camera, I started wondering if there had ever been similar frame sizes in the still photography world?

I'm well aware of the existence of half-frame cameras, oner of several Olympus Pen series and Fujica mini and Yashica Samurai - however, I don't think I've ever ran into a "quarter-frame" camera.

If it doesn't exist... someone should really get to it!

Minolta QT , the 'QT' stands for Quarter frame. It uses single perf 16mm film. But the aspect ratio is the same as the whole frame, not what you are looking for.
 
I don’t think the “Techniscope” 2 perf pull down concept ever made it to still cameras. I love the format though.
 
Not really the same at all but viscawide is closest I can think of
 
You could play with a Lomokino and see if you could press the shutter short enough to make only one frame (it shoots 4 frames pr second.)
 
I was just going to say the Lomokino has a two-perf frame. Like a very wide cine frame...

Oh I see! But even if I may have not expressed myself very well, I meant to ask if it existed in 35mm camera world... Maybe the Lomo supersampler is that, but instead of taking 144 pictures in a roll it takes... 36.
