You describe my sentiments Jason. I would love to get the N55 film alone. Who did make the film. My spider senses tell me that Kodak made the film but may be legally held to some kind of non-disclosure.This is nice, but not likely. I hope I'm wrong.
Failing that, what would be nice is if Ilford or somebody would just source the type 55 film as sheets. Screw the pack and pods. That would be a film folks would buy. If I could have purchased it as just plain film, I would have.
I think that could actually happen. Where the hell did that film come from? Did Polaroid make it? Or did Big Yellow? Or someone else? Where was it coated? Are there master rolls left? These are questions really worth looking in to.

From what I understand from reading the biography mentioned earlier, Kodak initially made the film then Polaroid coated their own.
Edwin Land didn't seem to be the type of person who would pay somebody to do something if he could do it himself.

There are many changes that suggest themselves to me after having read this article from top to bottom, but to what point?

Maybe less interest now that Instax is around. Instax film exposes through the back (no mirror needed) and is not a multiple-component system (no cartridge needed). So it can be exposed in any camera and uses simple squeeze-rollers for processing. This is my version of 'home made' 8x10 polaroid. Each piece of the 8x10 was processed in the instax camera after exposure in the 8x10 camera. View attachment 232693
The white on the 8x10 film holder represents two-sided tape that was used to position the nine pieces of Instax film in the film holder. After exposure in the 8x10 camera, the nine pices were loaded back into a Instax cartridge (with the little light trap removed) and processed in the camera. If you open and close the back after each 'exposure' the flash won't go off. Just do that nine times in the dark and it spits out the nine images. Then you can turn on the lights and watch them develop.How did you do that? Remove film and load on film holder, then reload into original film holder thing and run through the instax camera?
