 8mm Film Gauges
Double 8mm, called such because the film is 16mm's wide, with perforations that are identical in size and pitch to that of 16mm film....although with an extra perforation which is required since the 8mm frame is 1/4th that of a 16mm frame.
After processing, the film is slit down the middle yielding two lengths of 8mm width movie film, which are spliced together in their order of the first half in front, yielding a total length of projection footage in either 50ft(from 25ft spools), 100ft(from 50ft spools...now long discontinued in use), and 200ft (from 100ft spools).
It wasn't until Super 8mm was introduced in late 1964 and officially on the market for 1965 that simple drop in loading without the need to have to expose a second side of the film, came onto the scene and changed drastically the entire 8mm filmmaking movement.

 KODAK: Super 8mm Film General Tips
It is the lack of sufficient lubrication on the film that often causes unsteady projection.
A 50-foot roll of super 8 or 8mm movie film is long enough for an average of 20 to 24 scenes.
By filming from a low angle and using the sky as a background, or by shooting from a high angle toward the ground or water, you keep a lot of distracting elements out of your backgrounds.

 Standard 8 vs. Super 8
When the film is processed, it is then also split right down the middle and joined at the ends to form 50 feet of 8mm film.
You do not have to load Standard 8mm film in darkness, just be sensible and load it in slightly subdued light (i.e under a tree, not out in the sun.) The outer layers of film on the spool protect the inner ones from light whilst the film is being loaded.
That is Super 8mm film, again sealed in a handy cartridge, but this time the spools are on top of each other rather than mounted on the same axle as in Super 8.

 Film-8mm
The standard 8 mm film format was developed by the Eastman Kodak company during the Great Depression and released on the market in 1932 to create a home movie format less expensive than 16 mm.
The film spools actually contain a 16 mm film with twice as many perforations along each edge than normal 16 mm film, which is only exposed along half of its width.
During processing, the film is split down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge, so fitting four times as many frames in the same amount of 16 mm film.

 Super 8mm & 8mm Movie film Lubrication
What's most important is the films are as clean as possible (there will always be the occassional bit of fluff or hair now and then.....so always keep a can of dust off near the projector, and blow it into the gate from the top to dislodge the offensive particle while projecting!).
Kodak stopped lubricating their 8mm films after processing back in 1984, and to the best of my knowledge there isn't any lab processing 8mm films that automatically lubricates them after processing as a normal part of their service.
To build your own film cleaning setup, get a set of old film rewinds (or new ones if you can afford it), and mount these on a 2" x 4" x 4ft board (it can be as short as 3ft or as long as 5ft if you have the space).
