Does anyone know anything about Ansco Type 282 Panchromatic film.
What would its approximate speed have been?
I have no idea about how old this film must be only that there are several
boxes and I thought to open one to try it.

Is this identified in any other way beside the number?
What format is it? Ansco changed its name to GAF somewhere
around the early 1970s so its pretty old stuff whatever it
is. I have some old Ansco film data but I don't remember any
of it being identified by number.

Could the originator mean "828" instead of "282"?

There is no mistake about the type. I have seen a picture of the box(es) of
4x5 sheet film. The vendor has sold some of this in 8x10 which was dated
1960, perhaps this stuff is a similar vintage?

Likely it is. Ansco was owned by General Film and Analine
Co. They decided to change their trade name to GAF sometime
around 1970 but I don't know the year. Ansco had trade names
for its consumer films which is why I think this is a
special purpose film identified by a type number.
Unfortunately, I have no Ansco data which includes type
numbers.
