Print #5 (Universal) was in very good condition (as of Nov 2011) - it had been plattered, but all reels had at least 16 frames after the last cue - most had 18 frames.
I cross-referenced a number of sources, most of which stated that the aspect ratio is 1.85. A few claimed it was 1.33 but that's clearly wrong. I couldn't find any to support the notion that this should be projected as 1.66.

It's 1.85. Check out Harold Michaelson's storyboards all laid out for that ratio and signed off by Hitch.
